Academic Olympics fun guaranteed @ WTR Summer Camp 2016
With the 2016 Summer Olympic Games quickly approaching, Write to Read has creatively themed their summer camp Road To R.I.O. 2016: Rise. Inspire. Overcome - A Summer of Academic Olympic Fun.
Sharie B. de Castro explained that children should not experience any more “false starts” on their educational journey!
“Instead, every child deserves to get a head start over the summer so that they can be ahead next school year. This camp is a perfect balance of learning and fun,” she said.
“The Academic Olympic Write To Read Camp is important to keep children's brain engaged during the summer months. It will be a place of active learning and skill development, particularly reading and critical thinking, in a fun and creative way. Learning will not take place solely with the traditional pen to paper approach but through more hands on, skill based games and activities. This camp will help children to develop in areas they find challenging with the ultimate goal of helping them to achieve academic excellence,” she said in an additional comment to this news site.
Ready! Set! Go for Gold!
With the Starting Line being July 4 and the Finish Line of July 29, 2016 the camp venue is at Write To Read on the 3rd floor of E. A. Creque Building on Main Street.
“Register children by June 20th to be an Early Academic Olympic Qualifier and receive a special discount for the month. Children between the ages of 5 to 15 qualify for participation. Parents are encouraged to register early as there are limited spaces available,” the sisters pointed out.
Sharia B. de Castro stated that the summer camp will begin with an official Academic Olympics Opening Ceremony which will feature motivational speeches by VI Olympians who will be representing the Virgin Islands in Rio, Brazil. The Camp will end with a Closing Medal Ceremony where children will receive participation medals, certificates and awards for the various camp challenges.
According to the sisters, camp events include Warm Up Devotions, Reading Relays, Writing Hurdles, Motivational Exercises, Spelling Sprints, Math Marathons, Practice Art & Craft, Indoor Board Games, Outdoor Field Trips, Bowling Tournament, Movie Watch Parties and Olympic Game Day.
They said each child will receive an Olympic Passport and a stamp will be placed in it for each challenge they complete.
“Parents don't let your children fall behind. Meet us at the starting line,” they urged parents, while urging children to, “Find the champion within! Let the games begin! Team BVI all the way!”
