One tradition that has held strong at Global Graffiti Writing Camp is our writing walk-about. During this time students leave the classroom and visit a variety of settings in order to allow place to inspire their notebook musings. The place we visit may inspire them through memory, sights, or sounds; the possibilities are limitless. Veteran campers can attest to the power of place. They beg to go back to traditional stops, claiming they have no problems conjuring up good material no matter how many times we've been there. It's always interesting to see what happens when we move to each location.
