Last weekend Reading Village joined the one hundred ten families gathered at the YMCA's Snow Mountain Ranch in Fraser, Colorado for Latin American Heritage Camp. It's three days of fun and learning for families with children adopted from Latin America. The children got things started as they marched in by country, waving flags and proudly representing their countries of origin as parents clapped and cheered. Parents enjoyed workshops on making empanadas, salsa dancing, planning a quinceañera celebration, and other topics specific to adoption while children participated in soccer games, did arts and crafts, had fun with Spanish, got out in nature and much more. Our founder, Linda Smith, led a workshop for parents sharing Latin American Storybooks to include in their libraries. Parents found the Resource Guide we provided to be very helpful.
