In keeping with our 2012 theme "Sacred Stories," campers will be involved in program developed and implemented by "The Telling Room." The Telling Room is a nonprofit writing center in Portland, Maine, dedicated to the idea that children and young adults are natural storytellers. Focused on young writers ages 6 to 18, they seek to build confidence, strengthen literacy skills, and provide real audiences for camper's stories. They believe that the power of creative expression can change our communities and prepare our youth for future success. Children and young adults who work with The Telling Room increase their self-confidence and strengthen their creative skills. During the week we will take an offering to support the work of The Telling Room. Please look for more information on this unique and vital program at: http://www.TellingRoom.org |
