Here is an idea passed along by my friend Drew from Colorado. His friend Zach came up with an idea for follow-up from camp. Instead of putting a book into kids hands and asking them to read it.

We’ve found this to be successful as kids are more apt to read things on the computer written as messages to them then a book.
