2027 Neurodiverse Kidlit Retreat

Join us at Boyds Mills!
July 17-20, 2027

What to Expect

This retreat will be low-key with a few key semi-structured lectures, inspirational activities, writing time, and potential to make valuable connections with other neurodivergent children’s writers.

We have a limit of 12 spaces for our 2027 retreat, keeping the community intimate and focused, so as to not be overwhelming.  Please reach out to us if you have any concerns or questions!

We love Boyds Mills (formerly The Highlights Foundation)! Between serving as faculty, advising on  and attending retreats, we've had lots of experience working for and partnering with Boyds Mills. We believe their programming is top-notch, and the environment they've created is conducive to all types of creation, with multiple options for workspaces, and all meals and beverages included in the price of your stay. It's the whole reason we established a scholarship with them!
