After spending two weeks in a class called “The Art of Storytelling," hgh school students from Sitka Fine Arts Camp share their stories. They worked with New York Times audio producer Sarah Diamond, writing, listening, and learning how to tell true stories from their own lives: the small moments, the turning points, in some cases the things they haven’t said out loud before.
