The camp is a week-long, tuition-free summer program for children who need a "boost" to help them improve their reading skills and will include 15 hours of reading instruction alongside fun activities such as swimming, arts and crafts, and games. A nutritious breakfast, lunch and snacks will be served daily.
Paula Davis has agreed to coordinate the camp, but volunteers are needed! Current or retired teachers are invited to contact Paula for more information about how they can help to provide the reading instruction from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM each day. The program ends at 4 PM, so teachers (who are able) as well as other adult and youth volunteers will be needed to assist with the afternoon activities.
For more information about this exciting program, or to volunteer, please contact Bill Ticknor+, Paula Davis and Nancy Horkan at southcounty.md.readingcamp@gmail.com. Reading Camp South County is part of The Reading Camp Network.
