Lively Literature Camp

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, and more.
