I wanted to add my two-cents’ worth to what I am sure has been a feedback about the Reading Camp last week. All I can say is that it was truly awesome and way beyond the expectations of any of us. The young folks from Lexington and the youth from Grahamstown worked together like old friends. The kids loved every minute of it, and all of us were weeping on Saturday when we put them in the combis to go home. The creativity of the teachers, the foods, the spontaneity of the counselors and helpers was like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. You will be able to see the energy when they return home with the photos. [More photos will be put on the blog soon!]
Thank you again for all your hard work to help us make the camp possible. We’ve got a winner, as they say, and already plans and tentative bookings have been made for next year!
