Asia Trimm, aged eight, is reading her way towards a lava lamp for her bedroom and possibly a Kindle as part of the Bermuda Youth Library's summer programme.In addition to playing Book Bingo and earning prizes for reading, the Port Royal student has enjoyed the camp because 'we get to do a lot of things', including an outing to Dockyard, crafts on site, movies at lunchtime, and, of course, reading lots of different books.This summer the Youth Library is running a month-long camp for the first time. With a theme of "Read, Think, Create [AT] your Library", the camp is full of activities that embrace the arts, reading and writing. Supervised by Nicole Da Ponte and her three helpers, 20 children aged seven to 10 years of age have four full weeks of activities scheduled.Some of the projects, like creating their own cloth-bound journal with marbled end papers, have been quite ambitious, Ms Da Ponte noted. Others have been challenging, like learning yoga, which has pushed the youngsters beyond their comfort zone to learn new things.The campers have also been introduced to creative members of the community. Graham Foster visited the Youth Library and explained to the children how he created his mural at Commissioner's House. The children then visited Dockyard to see it and began work on their own murals. When The Royal Gazette caught up with the busy children, Al Seymour was teaching them to make Bermuda kites. Also on the schedule are fencing, drumming and dance lessons, cooking a three-course meal and a walking art tour around the City of Hamilton to learn about local artists.So far so good, according to the children interviewed, including Kelise Stewart visiting from Boston. "It's awesome," the nine-year-old declared. "The counsellors are awesome. They take very good care of us."The highlight for her so far has been the kite-making. "I've never made kites before,"Kelise explained. "It's fun, especially doing it in Bermuda."For Noel Taylor the opportunity to read a wide variety of books has been the main draw of the camp. His favourite read so far has been a book on experimenting with water, which showed him how to make a submarine from a pen top and clay which worked.Noel has had 'so much fun', and enjoyed particularly the visit to the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art and watching films.Perhaps Kelise Stewart summed up the camp best: "I like all the field trips. I get to meet more people and it's fun."
