The Northern Kentucky Reading Camp has been operating for eight years and is currently planning a camp for forty children. The camp’s mission is to promote personal andÂ
academic growth and success of struggling and at-risk students through summertime non-formal educational opportunities. It empowers and encourages at-risk children to be strong readers, engaged students and responsible members of their communities.
Â
By integrating confidence and interdisciplinary activities into the literacy learning process, they address the needs of the whole child and take steps toward breaking the connection between illiteracy and poverty.
