YWA Literature Camps

For current 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...


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: $185 + field trip fee (changes according to field trip)
