The formal literacy component of camp takes place each morning of camp in the Learning Centers, where children receive over 15 hours of one-on-one or small group instruction in six focus areas.
In the afternoons, the children enjoy traditional camp activities, including hiking, swimming, horseback riding, spelunking, rappelling, arts and crafts, field trips, and more. Some Reading Camps are day camp programs, while others are overnight camp programs and draw children and volunteers from a wide geographic area. Overnight camp programs also include evening water games, obstacle courses, night hikes, campfires, “polar” swims, storytelling, and more.
