HippoCamp 2022 was an incredible success. After a year off, we cautiously returned in 2021 and it was a fantastic year, albeit with a lot of smiling behind masks. This August (12-14), our summer creative writing conference made an even stronger comeback with more than 230 attendees from 35+ states and three countries (including three Canadian provinces).

On this page, we provide a quick overview of some recaps and resources, as well as brief information about HippoCamp 2023. Thank you, again, to all of our speakers, volunteers, magazine staff members, and attendees!
