The Center for Literacy at The University of Akron’s College of Education is seeking youth from first through seventh grade to register for summer day camps focusing on Graphic Novel Making, Storybook Making, and Screenwriting. Camp Digi-Lit is an educational summer day camp designed to nurture, encourage, and inspire future generations of readers, writers, learners, and thinkers. Our camps cultivate a taste for exploration, creativity, and expression, as well as stimulate a sense of excitement in reading and writing through technology while helping to prevent learning loss over the summer months. <BR>

Camps are one week from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and are based in Zook Hall on campus. Fees are $300 per student and $250 for multiple siblings. Scholarships are available for students attending Akron Public Schools. <B>Scholarship application forms are due at the end of this week Friday, May 20th.<BR>
