Acclaimed Author and Literacy Advocate to Participate in Virtual 'Camp What A Wonder' Summer Learning Program as "Camp Counselor" Voice
(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/29/12 -- Children often lose as much as one grade level of progress during summer and the National Center for Family Literacy's (NCFL) award-winning Wonderopolis creative learning program addresses the need for summer learning opportunities through hosting 'Camp What A Wonder,' of which Monica Holloway, literacy advocate and autism memoir author of Cowboy & Wills, will serve as a virtual "Camp Counselor" on Thursday, July 5, 2012 via Twitter.
Anticipating 5,000-7,000 campers, 'Camp What A Wonder' is a free, four-week virtual camp from July 2-27 for students, families and teachers, via Twitter ((at)Wonderopolis), featuring podcasts, audio tours, and weekly activities with themes such as 'Creepy Crawling Critters,' 'Campfire Cooking,' 'Spooky Stories,' and 'Craft-A-Palooza.'
Holloway, a NCFL Board Member, will serve as the camp counselor voice for a Campfire Twitter session during 'Spooky Stories' week.
"Wonderopolis is an amazing resource for children. It's a place where creativity and imagination go hand-in-hand with learning," says author Monica Holloway. "Camp What A Wonder is an incredible program to spark much needed learning over summer break and I'm thrilled to be involved."
During 'Spooky Stories' week, Holloway's husband Michael Price, Co-Executive Producer of The Simpsons, will serve as the script-writing voice. Price is also a Board Member of NCFL.
