During the week of June 8-12, 2026, we will also offer the High School Writers Institute (HSWI) for children who are current eighth through twelfth graders. Click here to go to HSWI registration page.

FCWC is open to all public education, private education, and home-school education students who will enroll in grades 4-8 in fall 2026. Students will be placed in classrooms based on the grade they will be entering in the fall.

The deadline to register for Early Bird Registration is March 30. The deadline for Regular Registration is May 25.

Our Summer Writing Camps typically closes registration early due to full enrollment. We encourage early enrollment. Please see the refund policy below.

Multi-age and multi-grade classrooms may take place with some camp classrooms. Although we try our best to keep classrooms confined to one grade level, CLA may need to place students in a multi-age or multi-grade classroom based on enrollment.

At the time of registration, a parent may request a student be placed in a class with another student, and we will try our best to honor that request. Please indicate your request during registration.  If you have a request after your child is already registered, please email us at camp.cathla@gmail.com. 

We do not offer before or after-camp child care. Students must be picked up at the University of St. Thomas Campus by 2:20 pm each day or be charged a rate of $5/minute.

CLA does not provide transportation.

If you have any additional questions about FCWC or encounter any problems during registration, please call the Catholic Literary Arts office and ask for Sarah Cortez at 713.331.9342, or email us at camp.cathla@gmail.com
