"505" Teen Center plans automotive and creative writing workshop camps

Teenagers will be in gear this summer on Saturdays from 4 to 6 p.m. until Aug. 15,
when they learn how to save money at the shop by doing basic maintenance such as oil changes, tire rotations, changing brake pads, radiator replacement and flush, tune ups and putting together an emergency car kit for his or her own car, with recreation supervisor Tony Chin at the "505" Teen Center, 505 SE Fifth Ave.
Also at the "505" Teen Center, the Delray Beach Parks and Recreation Department invites teens to join the Creative Writing Workshop every Friday during the summer starting June 19.
“Participants will have a chance to work on their poetry, short stories and lyrics. The workshop will teach techniques and exercises that will aid in any creative writing form. Participants are encouraged to show up with an open mind and ready for criticism and new ideas, as everyone will have a chance to be critiqued and will critique others,” Lance Liebl, a recreation supervisor at the "505" Teen Center, said.
All students must bring is a lined notebook and something to write with. Cost for both "505" Teen Center workshops are free for members and $5 for non-members.
