READING SAVES LIVES

Come experience a 5 week camp that challenges everything you know to believe is real.


Each week students encounter a new, dangerous reality, ranging from foraging through the wilderness to a nuclear apocalypse. In each scenario, students face challenging tasks that require problem solving and hands-on trials. Skill-based, augmented gaming will help form the basis of many challenges- allowing students to break out of the norm of education.


This program will help your child become a skilled, enthusiastic reader with strong comprehension. Your child will read more smoothly and quickly, enjoy reading more, and have the reading skills and the confidence that will make next year in school a big success. Your child will:


  • Improve comprehension
  • Build long-word decoding skills
  • Read more fluently and rapidly
  • Become a strong, enthusiastic reader


This program includes five weeks of classroom instruction and stimulating activities led by an experienced teacher, engaging materials that provide instruction at home between the weekly lessons, and independent reading in some of the most enjoyable children's novels ever written.
