We’re thrilled to once again be hosting an online version of HippoCamp: A Conference for Creative Nonfiction Writers. We simply call it “HippoCamp Online Weekend” because it’s a name familiar to past attendees, and also because its during mid-August, when we typically held the conference in Lancaster, PA.
HippoCamp Weekend includes four main separate events, plus evening “chill and chats,” which are informal Zoom meetings that allow registered attendees to connect and reflect. Introduced last year, afternoon Deep Dives are back; these generative sessions are optional add-ons that can be purchased individually.
We hope you will join us online for one or all of the sessions.
Since, for a la carte ticketing purposes, each individual event must have its own page in our Event Calendar system, we’ve also created this standalone webpage to host some general information about the overarching weekend.
