Camp Starlight
Michigan Dyslexia Institute and Mystic Lake YMCA Camp formed a partnership over nineteen years ago. This partnership has enabled us to work together to help and encourage numerous campers. This year Camp Starlight will celebrate its 20th anniversary with Starlight campers, counselors and the extended family of Mystic Lake. The dates for Camp Starlight are June 21-27, 2015.
Camp Starlight is one-week overnight camp. The camp is specifically for children with dyslexia and provides campers with the chance to gain a better understanding of dyslexia, build self-esteem, enhance social skills, and most importantly to have fun. The camp atmosphere gives campers an opportunity to interact with other children with dyslexia in a positive, supportive environment. Many of the campers return year after year and develop lifelong friendships.
Goals and Objectives
• Demonstrate to campers they have the ability to become strong and independent leaders
• Encourage campers to reinforce their strengths
• Teach self-advocacy
• Present adult guest speakers who share their real life experience and how dyslexia is an advantage
