Literature Camps

For current summer camp details see home page "Hear Ye Hear Ye."

A novel camp! have you ever wished you could enter the world of your favorite book to experience the lives of the characters?
Each summer, Louisa Lindsay-Sprouse creates day camps rooted in that idea, with separate sessions for elementary and middle school students. With Louisa and her husband, Frank, campers enter a hands on adventure inspired by well-loved classics, becoming cooks, scientists, artists, builders, storytellers...

Examples of camps:

What the Cyclops Wished He'd Known! Based on The Iliad & The Odyssey and Homer's ancient Greece where fact and myth gleam from ancient ruins.

Down the Mississippi: Based on the roaring good stories by Mark Twain and the wild Mississippi of the 1850's

Sea Dogs and Water Gypsies: Based on rollicking wild tales of gold, lace and tattooed islanders -- discover what Moby Dick, Treasure Island and a mysterious lady pirate have in common.

Fools, Fighters and Fine Arts: Why did they throw their plates out the window? Who was dancing on a cloth of gold? Why did Shakespeare hide spies in the attic? Explore European Renaissance and go behind the scenes of Shakespeare's Elizabethan Theatre.

Castles, Cauldrons & King Arthur...knights, dragons, monks and a talking head...Based on legends from the ancient British Isles and medieval Europe.

Camp times: 9:00 AM- 4:00 PM, Monday - Friday

Cost: $189 + field trip fee (changes according to field trip)
