Help 3rd through 5th graders hone their reading skills this summer.

Counselors: Teens to help guide campers through morning learning centers and afternoon games, educational projects, and crafts.
Support Staff: Everyone from cooks to prepare breakfasts, lunches and snacks to morning greeters and folks to check campers out at the end of day.
WE NEED YOUR HELP. SIGN UP ON THE READING CAMP BULLETIN BOARD IN THE HALL!
