LIVE MONUMENTAL
FILM TOUR – Sunday, July 17 at The Orange Peel in Asheville.
Nine weeks, 7,500 miles of canyons, petroglyphs, starry nights and breakdowns—last summer our 1976 Live Monumental RV embarked on a classic American road trip to protect
the places we play.
Now the RV is on the road again, visiting 10 cities to screen our Live Monumental film. Walk the yellow carpet, see the RV and mingle with the KEEN Effect team.
Join us for an evening of films, beers, and cheers!
We’ll show three short films from the KEEN Live Monumental tour, followed by a raffle-filled intermission. During the second half of the program our friends from the US National Whitewater Center will share three chapters from their Explore series.
Meal provided each night at 5:45 pm, so come early and come hungry (please let a VBS staff know of any food allergies). VBS begins at 6:15 pm nightly and will go through 8:30 PM.
Imagine a world where curious kids become hands-on inventors who discover they’re lovingly crafted by God. Each day at Maker Fun Factory VBS, kids travel through field-tested rotations that reinforce relevant Bible Points and immerse kids in new adventures.
Writing Dialogue with Robin Constantine:
A Workshop for Teen Writers (ages 13-18 only)
$15 or book purchase (details on Spellbound website)
pre-registration required – limited to 10 students
Ever come to a part in your story where you struggle with what your characters will say? Or do your characters have a whole lot to say, but aren’t really saying anything? Do you grapple with writing realistic dialogue? If you’ve answered “yes” to any of those questions – this is the workshop for you!
In this workshop we will:
· Answer the question “What is good dialogue?”
· Get tips on how to create engaging dialogue.
· Learn dialogue pitfalls to avoid.
· Practice with an exercise to spark your creativity.
· Author Q& A
· Leave w/ inspiration, handouts & book-related swag!
Students can also enter a drawing to win a free critique from Robin of 20 pages from your completed manuscript or a work in progress. This is a rare opportunity, for young writers especially, to be offered constructive feedback from a successful published author with a busy schedule. Don’t miss out!
About the Instructor:
Robin Constantine is the author of three popular young adult novels published by Harper Collins: THE PROMISE OF AMAZING, THE SECRETS OF ATTRACTION, and THE SEASON OF YOU & ME. She grew up in the same town as George R.R. Martin but unlike him prefers to write contemporary novels and tends not to kill off characters. She loves a great rom-com which, when you think of it, could be considered contemporary realistic fantasy–or would that be an oxymoron?
Have you been avoiding or enjoying the summer heat? No matter your response, we’re inviting you to join us on August 12th for our 2nd Annual Island Party!
We’ll be bringing back our Roatan Paradise IPA (6.5% ABV, 50 IBUs) brewed with pineapple, oranges and serrano peppers. Put on your fancy pants and garnish your pint with a pineapple wedge!

Let out your competitive side by joining in on our hula hoop contest at 5:30PM, a limbo contest at 7:00PM and coconut bowling! The kids will have a blast playing in kiddie pools in the Firefly Field.
