That Time of Year Again

By Caitlin McHale | Project Overseer

It's that time of year again! Summer camp is just around the corner! And this year, we'll hold camp in our new school building. We have raised about $40K of the $130 total purchase price. It is huuuge compared to where camp has been held in the past. We have four volunteers who will be here all summer, and then others coming and going throughout the summer. One volunteer is even conducting research on the camp with a pre-test and post test to see the effectiveness of the camp. We just translated a University of Arkansas human research subject permission form into Creole and distributed it to parents. We're pretty sure there were some concepts that were foreign to them, but nonetheless, many signed and gave consent for their cihldren to participate.

 

We look forward to sharing the results at the end of the summer, as well as announcing our 2015/2016 school year scholarship participants. We should also have plenty of pictures to share after the summer! One exciting bit of news is that 16 middle school students from Pace Academy in Atlanta, GA will be joining us for a week this summer. After camp each day they will each have a buddy for the week who will accompany them to extra curricular activities. This will be a wonderful experience for all of the students and teachers involved! We greatly look forward to camp this summer. Thank you for your support.
