2016 Reading Camp South County - August 1-5

Reading Camp South County will be held once again at St. James' Parish on August 1-5! The camp is a week-long, tuition-free summer program for children who need a "boost" to help them improve their reading skills. Curriculum will include 15 hours of reading instruction alongside fun activities such as arts and crafts, games, and field trips. A nutritious breakfast, lunch and snacks will be served daily.

It is time to start assembling the team for this year's camp! Current or retired teachers are invited to contact Paula Davis, Camp Coordinator, 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. Reading Camp South County also needs your donations to support field trips, supplies, food and snacks, and other special activities. Please make your check out to the Southern Maryland Regional Council, put it in the plate, or drop it by the Parish Office.

For more information about this exciting program, or to volunteer, please contact Bill Ticknor+ (410-867-2838 or ticknor@stjameslothian.com), Paula Davis (southcounty.md.readingcamp@gmail.com), or Nancy Horkan (nhorkan@comcast.net).
