POTTSVILLE, Pa. For one week each summer, Trinity Episcopal Church in Pottsville hosts a reading camp as part of its outreach ministry. The church partners with the school districts in Schuylkill County in an effort to help students who may be behind specifically with reading and writing. The goal of the camp is to try to keep these kids who are struggling readers from losing the skills they ve gotten over the school year. Kids who are not good readers have a tendency not to want to read during the summer, said Camp Coordinator Barbara Tokarz.
