Summer volunteer event with WIN | September 29, 2015
by Ellen Cormier (Penguin Young Readers)
On Friday, August 21st, the ECC hosted an afternoon of bookish fun at Camp WIN’s East Harlem location. An extension of Women In Need NYC’s after school program, the camp provides all-day childcare for the children living in WIN’s shelters. Throughout the summer, the camp invites volunteer groups to organize special activities for campers of all ages.
The ECC’s activities were centered on books— what else? Campers rotated between crafting stations, where they had the opportunity to design their own bookmarks; design paper bag puppets after their favorite characters; create their own story-based Mad Libs™; and try their hand at origami. The day ended with a group read-aloud and, of course, tote bags full of books for every camper.
