Camp Sharigan, a reading clinic for children
Designed by Elaine Clanton Harpine, Camp Sharigan is a week-long reading clinic set in the atmosphere of a hands-on, wonder-filled summer camp. The camp features a make-believe poison ivy patch, Mount Reading where one climbs to the summit to find an adventure story, a fishing pole and magnet at Lake Read to help children "hook-onto" new books to read, and a tent full of buzzing mosquitoes. The compass and map at the Read and Hike trail direct the children to books hidden under inflatable rocks, and a daily treasure hunt sends everyone scurrying off to find more books to read. The Road to Nowhere but Reading is filled with funny stories; the campfire has books about food and healthy eating along with tasty snacks to sample. Also, there is the Camp Stop Sign where one has to stop and read a book.
The pace is lively but educational, which keeps children working on remedial reading skills. Our secret: make learning fun so children want to read. End result: to instill a love for reading and make reading a life-long habit. Click the Gallery link for some images.
