The Reading Camp, organized by Oregon Blacks for Youth and Families, is a transformative program designed to instill a love for reading in children and youth. Through engaging activities, interactive sessions, and curated resources, the camp nurtures young minds to discover the joy of reading while building essential literacy skills.
Participants explore a wide range of books, from classics to contemporary stories, through guided reading sessions. Trained facilitators bring stories to life with interactive discussions, role-plays, and creative interpretations.
The camp turns reading into an adventure with scavenger hunts, literary games, and group challenges inspired by popular books and characters. These activities make learning exciting and memorable.
Children are encouraged to share their favorite books, read aloud to peers, and discuss the lessons they’ve learned. This fosters collaboration, empathy, and a sense of community among participants.
The program features a carefully selected collection of books, including works by diverse authors and stories that reflect a wide range of cultures, experiences, and perspectives. This approach broadens horizons and inspires a deeper understanding of the world.
Reading is more than just a skill—it’s a gateway to unlimited possibilities. It expands the mind, nurtures dreams, and inspires young readers to think big and imagine a brighter future. The Reading Camp provides a space where young minds can grow, explore, and find their voice through the power of books.
