The little girl with the glasses and headband had been so eager to go to Reading Camp when I saw her at church the previous Sunday for the Great Breakfast Send-off. She had been eagerly looking forward to both learning and fun. But when I stopped in to observe her on Thursday morning, I was surprisingly unprepared for the light in her face as she worked one on one with the teacher. She was in a small group of two, and the teacher moved easily between them, making sure that each had the attention they needed. With shining eyes and new-found confidence, this reading camper showed that even before the week was over she had arrived at her desired location. She had come for both learning and fun, and they were clearly simultaneous.
