Our Mission
Literacy Lighthouse Camp is a summer literacy enrichment experience led by a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist and a credentialed Education Specialist. Our mission is to foster positive, language-rich experiences that encourage children’s interest, enjoyment, and engagement with books and stories.
Through high-quality picture books, shared reading, guided discussions, play-based reading games, hands-on crafts, and collaborative activities, children are invited to explore literacy in meaningful and creative ways. Camp experiences also include kid-friendly comprehension conversations and reading strategies designed to help children engage more deeply with stories in a fun, supportive, and low-pressure environment.
Our Vision
At Literacy Lighthouse Camp, our vision is to foster a genuine love for literacy by creating joyful, engaging experiences with books, language, and storytelling.
We believe literacy is more than learning to read. It is about curiosity, imagination, connection, and discovering meaning through stories. Like a lighthouse, we aim to offer a warm, guiding environment where children are invited to explore literacy in ways that feel accessible, playful, and engaging.
