Campers, are you ready for your first week of activities? #CampCaribu's first week will kick-off with the theme, 'Courageous Conversations.' Join us as we launch discussions around anti-racist texts, and ask questions that inspire reflection on each person's role in advocating for change. Consider ways that your family members can take action for justice and equity, from small acts of friendship to larger gestures of peaceful protest.

Each day features a different book with corresponding 'Courageous Conversations' and activities. Take a look at our first week of activities below.

Monday, June 8: Trivia Day

Every Monday during #CampCaribu, we will feature a powerful book to launch the new week's theme. We will also ask a trivia question about the book so you will be inspired to read and find the answer!

The trivia question will be posted here and on social media. Post your response on Caribu's Facebook page to be entered into this week's #CampCaribu prize pool! Use the hashtag #CampCaribu and tag @caribu. The answer will be shared on Facebook on Friday.

Tuesday, June 9: Grandparents Day

Every Tuesday during #CampCaribu, we will feature a book that will spark conversations between children and their grandparents or grandfriends. Make sure to schedule a Caribu Video-Call on this day so your family can share in the experience together.

Wednesday, June 10: Read Aloud Day

Every Wednesday during #CampCaribu, we will feature read-alouds that connect to the week's theme. Caribu's Video Read-Alouds provide an opportunity for families to hear stories read by authors/creators who share a love of storytelling. When we hear stories told from different perspectives and with different voices, we can build empathy and connections across communities. It's also really fun to hear how different readers approach the text, and consider new ways to read a story.
Courageous Conversations to share with your reading:

1. Have you ever felt like Mica Mouse, with feelings swirling inside of you like a tornado? What makes you feel this way?

2. What are some ways that you share your feelings and sing your own song?

3. Rhino meets so many helpers in the story. Who are your helpers? Who do you help?

Choose one or more of the Video Read-Aloud books below from the 'Videos' tab of your Caribu app. Then, make time to read and discuss the book(s) with a family member or friend in a Caribu Call. How does the story change with different readers and voices? How does it stay the same?
Courageous Conversations to share with your reading:
Read Aloud #1: The Rhino Who Swallowed a Storm, read by co-author LeVar Burton.
Courageous Conversations to share with your reading:

Camp Candlewick is an online program for avid young readers who may be staying safe at home this summer. Over the course of twelve weeks, young people in grades 1-12 can engage in a virtual book camp that encourages them to take part in shared reads, activities, and streaming events with prominent creators.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Camp Candlewick

Camp Candlewick is a monthlong online program for avid young readers who may be staying home this summer. Young people in grades K-8 can engage in a virtual book camp that encourages them to take part in shared reads, activities, and streaming events with prominent creators.

Via website content and email newsletters, as well as robust support resources on sites such as Pinterest and YouTube, the families of "campers" will be alerted to reading suggestions, prompts, and activities for the "cabins" appropriate for their age.

Campers can "meet" each author as the summer progresses via video messages, learn about each writer's favorite summer reading books and camp memories, and find out why it's so important to stay connected to books all year long. Hopefully they will discover some favorite new reads of their own!

We hope you'll take the Camp Candlewick pledge:

I will view summer reading as a fun activity: an opportunity to embrace new stories, meet new characters, and immerse myself in settings and experiences outside of my own.

I will set weekly reading goals and challenge myself to meet them.

I will try to make a special spot for myself - such as in my room or outside in the sun - where I can enjoy private reading time.

I will joyfully recommend books that I love to other readers, especially my friends.

I will be thankful for teachers, librarians, and especially family members for helping me have access to amazing books all summer long.

I will challenge myself to dip into the pages of a variety of different kinds of books, and will dare to try new genres and authors.

And don't miss the Camp Candlewick song!
