Extend student's learning with this Reading Camp while having fun!  Learners will explore the idea of archetypes through encounters with characters, our world, and experiences by using fictional texts, informational texts, and short films. 
This camp has activities specifically designed for advanced learners by using class discussions, Socratic Seminar, and higher level thinking graphic organizers.  The concepts of theme, mood, symbols, tone and point of view will be covered during the camp.  At the end of each day we will end the class with a fun game of Blooket to review what we learned!
