On Tuesday, I drove with visiting author Nancy Kelly Allen up to the Domain to visit Reading Camp. Nancy is such a good friend to Reading Camp—the kids always love hearing her read and talk about her writing, and I was happy for the chance to catch up with her. We arrived on the mountain just in time to hear the whistle blow and see the kids come bursting out the buildings into the bright June sunshine to switch centers. After lunch, we toured the centers—as usual, they’ve decorated everything to the hilt! It all looked great. I enjoyed seeing the origami crafts the kids were making in the cathedral and seeing my old pleasure reading buddy, Karl (pictured above), as well as all the other teachers and Reading Camp friends. It was such a treat to be up on the mountain again, and I’m so envious of everyone that gets to stay all week with the kids!
