Wally Camp – Save the Date!
Dear Goddard/Warren Wilson Alumni:
If you’ve been on the fence about attending the 2026 Goddard/Warren Wilson Alumni Conference, now is the time to lean over and drop in to register! Registration closes June 9. Lock in your chance to commune with fellow writers, get feedback on and read your work in front of your best audience ever, and enjoy some fresh New England summer air. Oh yeah, and dance!
WHEN:
- Full stay: Sunday, July 12 – Sunday, July 19: $1,015
- Short stay: Wednesday, July 15 – Sunday, July 19: $630
- A commuter option is available: $580.
WHERE: Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, MA
WHAT: Classes, workshops, readings, catching up with fellow alums, and celebration!
And speaking of celebration, in addition to the usual receptions, porch sessions, and dance, we’re hoping to celebrate two very important milestones. First, 2026 is the 50th Anniversary of the founding of the Goddard/Warren Wilson MFA Program. Second, we’d like to celebrate the life and work of Ellen Bryant Voigt, who passed away last year. If you would like to help with planning, you can indicate so when you register.
More good news: a few air conditioners will be available for those who need them. Details are in the registration info.
So sharpen your pencil and clear your calendar for an uplifting week of nurturing your writing and connection with other writers in a beautiful setting. Registration closes on June 9.

I wanted to salvage
something from my life, to fix
some truth beyond all change…
