More stories from Mission House Reading Camp



Included below are more camp stories chronicled by camp volunteers during the week of Mission House Reading Camp two weeks ago.



Monday morning bus ride - Stop 1. Tenneh's house. 7am. Returning Camper Tenneh comes running out and yells: "I am SO EXCITED!"

Overheard on the bus Wednesday morning:


"Why can't Reading Camp last longer than 1 week?"

"Why can't we keep coming when we get older?"



Monday, while playing a game with two of my campers--both of whom had already won one game and who knew I hadn't won a game yet--they campers teamed together to make sure me (the teacher!) won once. So precious to watch them see that I could win, too! What a delight! - Peggy Manley, teacher volunteer from Southland Christian Church



You can tell this is Kentucky because the campers tried to dribble the beachballs. - Bill Hiles, read aloud volunteer from St. Martha's Episcopal Church, Lexington
