Stanford Sierra Camp

This non-fiction hybrid piece is about a formative place from my childhood: Stanford Sierra Camp. I’ve been going there ever since I was little, and I’m so grateful for all of the memories I’ve made there. In this piece, I collected some of my favorite memories and wrote them as fragments—it emphasizes how fast time flies without us even realizing. I wanted to add a lot of imagery throughout this piece. My main goals for this piece was to invite the reader into the scene and to have the reader be a part of the thrilling adventure that Sierra Camp has given me.

Creativity means letting my mind wander and following after it without any hesitation. Sometimes it can be messy; sometimes it can be rough. But it can also be beautiful. Most importantly, creativity allows for mistakes and doesn’t judge any half-formed ideas.
