CSS was honored to be a sponsor for Shrine Mont’s Camp Curious. Camp Curious is collaboration between Shrine Mont with the Virginia Association of Teachers of English (VATE) for rising 3rd-6th grade students. The camp’s mission is to “Infuse struggling readers/writers with the joy and experiences of reading and writing.” Campers went home with a “tool bag” for good reading and writing strategies. They were also provided with supplies, books, and family reading and writing ideas. The primary focus is to support students from Page, Rockingham, and Shenandoah counties and Harrisonburg City who are struggling with or behind in their reading skills. VATE works with camper families, teachers, and reading specialist (with the parent’s permission) to make sure each student is receiving the resources they need at camp. Shrine Mont worked with a trained staff of counsellors to make camp fun and engaging for the week.
