Camp Read Opening

In the summer of 2017, we initiated a new camp called Camp Read at a public library in Boise, Idaho. Children who came into our rented room got help with reading skills and got a bag of books to take home.

We had collected over one hundred books and had extra too. In the picture – Lisa Bethel, director of camp, gives books to librarian who will get them to two elementary schools who need them. These schools have many refugee families.

Pamela Doyle, Lisa and I had met early in the summer to plan this camp. Camp Read has much potential for Idaho and beyond.
