Create your own Comic!

Calling all kids who love to draw and create stories and comics! In this camp, professional cartoonist Mister Smart will teach the skills of making your own comics. He will guide campers through the entire process, including character design, story creation, drawing techniques for backgrounds, page layouts, dialog, and more. At the end of the week, campers will head home with their own graphic novel or comic!

Campers will also find inspiration in the historic James Whitcomb Riley Museum Home, and its large collection of nineteenth-century illustrated books and magazines. They will be able to head "behind the ropes" and enjoy special access to the different rooms and handle some of the 100 year-old books from our extensive library.
