When camp is in session, every morning Edwards Explorers gather to spend time with a Guest Reader. Our Guest Readers are selected from a wide range of professional backgrounds, to serve as role models for the Explorers and to inspire them to read.
Additionally, Guest Readers have the opportunity to spend time with a group of children investing their summer in learning and to see a project committed to impacting the summer learning loss that would inevitably occur for Edwards students if the camp did not exist.
