Wow! What an incredible few days I had at the Mission House Reading Camp last week! I am still reeling from all the amazing things I saw going on there. The camp was exceptionally organized… Thanks Holly, Ginger, and Mary!… and the group of kids was fantastic—so many smiles and everyone was filled with enthusiasm! Clearly, the kids saw the benefit of the camp and the many activities and skills they were experiencing and learning. Actually, I’m not sure who was having more fun, the kids or the teachers, other adults and youth! Naturally, time-keeper CC kept everything fluid and on time! And of course, what rocks? READING ROCKS! With our camp less than six weeks away, St. James’ Leesburg, Virginia's Reading Carnival Camp is now equipped with some great ideas and your infectious enthusiasm that will carry us well beyond our camp and into our fall literacy program! Thanks to all for your hospitality and for sharing your wonderful Reading Camp program with us!

Laura sent this update a few months ago and has encouraged everyone interested in the new Reading Carnival Camp to check out their new camp website here.
