Orono Community Education

LitCamp is a “not-to-be-missed” summer experience for struggling readers and writers. LitCamp’s engaging, fun lessons and best-selling books give students the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. Group activities enable children to build their skills while rediscovering their natural motivation, curiosity and confidence as readers. Orono Schools is pleased to offer this new summer program designed to provide support in an exciting, inclusive environment. An enhanced tutoring component is incorporated to give students personalized instruction with Alexandra Larson, a teacher who has training in Orton Gillingham/Wilson/RTI methods. We will develop individualized plans and provide pull out instruction with small groups. There will be seamless continuity from school year curriculum and/or reading intervention time. Focus will be on strengthening specific skills needed to prepare for the next grade level. An end-of-session progress report will be provided to parents.

Girls - keep your basketball skills sharp this summer! This camp is about improving on the fundamentals of the game, getting better and having fun! There will be instruction, drills and scrimmage play.

Professional directors from Prairie Fire Children’s Theater are bringing this touring show to our community, complete with set and costumes. Following auditions on Monday, some cast members may start rehearsal immediately. *This program is designed with an audition process. Due to the popularity of Prairie Fire productions, often more children audition than shows can accommodate. As a traveling show, there is a pre-designated number of roles available and sizes of costumes the troupe can travel with. Prior to auditions, please prepare your child for this process and the possible disappointment of not being cast in the play. Those not cast will receive two free tickets to the show.
