Classroom teachers are already loving this resource!
“We absolutely LOVED Camp Read A Lot. I used the BINGO, math scoot, write around the room, and the ideas for campsites and s’mores. I have loved all of the Lucky Little Learners products I have bought, but this one was AMAZING. My students were engaged and excited for the whole school day. We read over 100 books/ chapters, read with finger flashlights, and wrote about our camp day. All of my students said that it was the best day in 2nd grade :)” – Alexandra R.
I can’t wait to hear how camping day goes with your students! Send me a message after you download and let me know about your special day. Happy teaching!

We used this resource at the end of the school year. The plethora of resources was great and along with my co-teacher we stretched this fun camping activity out to two days in our 2nd grade classrooms. The students were more than enthusiastic to see tents and camping supplies in the classrooms. The resources were meaningful to the students learning and every student was engaged during the work time, regardless of their ability level. It was easy to differentiate for each student. Wonderful resource!!

There are so many things to choose from in this bundle! We had a wonderful camp out day the last week of school, and I had plenty of on-task work for them to do! I will definitely be doing this again next year!
Rebecca K. –
So many great activities in this bundle! My students loved our classroom camping transformation at the end of the year and I loved having all these resources ready to print to keep them engaged and learning in those last few days of school. Can’t wait to use it again this school year.

At the end of the school year, I used this resource to do a camping themed day in class. My class is the “campers” and this went perfectly with that. There were plenty of options to choose from so I could pick out what worked best for my class.
Wendy S. –
Super fun addition to our camping themed end of year events. the Mr. Magee activities were our favorite and it was a new book to us. Thanks a million for creating this and sharing it.
Melanie P. –
This is by far one of the best purchases I have made yet!! The last 2 school years I have done a camping theme week using these materials and more and the kids have ABSOLUTELY LOVED it!!!! They can’t wait to see what each day brings. They love “their” tents too. It has made the last week of school so enjoyable and fun!! Thank you so much for putting this all together!

Best Camp Learn A Lot Resource I have used in my 2nd grade classroom. Enough planned to keep you and your students busy for a week, but enough “looseness” to not have to complete each activity to be able to use other resources. As I have come to expect from LLL resources, so well aligned with 2nd grade standards.
Teaching Tiny Hoosiers –
This is jam packed full of things to keep your students engaged during those last weeks of school. It is everything everyone says and MORE. Anything LLL does is fabulous. A+
Stacy Lee –
My class LOVED doing this in May! It was really fun and a great end of year reward, with practice of skills we learned throughout the year. Thanks!
Laurie Shapiro –
Not enough words to describe how awesome this resource is! Just when a teacher’s brain is overloaded- just click and create a ton of fun for your students. We had a BLAST!

This was a great activity for the end of the year. Especially when I was burnt out as well as students.
Students were able to review and have a fun time while doing so. I would totally recommend this packet.

When I transformed the room, I thought it would be a fun day. I was wrong. It was the BEST day. The students had a blast in their tents and declared it the best day of the school year. I HIGHLY, highly, HIGHLY recommend this!
Kristi B. –
I used this at the end of the year last year and my kids loved it. I will probably use it this year as a fun winter activity and maybe again at the end of the year.
Anna Kincaid –
Camp read a lot was a huge hit with my students. They loved all the centers and changing the classroom to a campground was so fun for all! I will be using this resource for years to come!
Karli D –
I used this for one of my special end of the year days. I teach kiddos with severe behaviors. All things considering, they enjoyed this resource. A big trigger for my kids is reading- so it’s a battle in the first place. But- this helped to change it up and they loved the room makeover!
Jennifer C. –
While we didn’t get to make tents last year, I am hoping we get to this year! Aside from the non-tent-making, my students were engaged and happy up to the last day with these activities!

I saw so much about camp read a lot and was so excited to try it. It was a lot of work but oh so worth it – and this bundle has everything you need. Thanks!

Wonderful resource!! This is a lot of work, but makes for my students’ favorite day of the year. This resource helps out, makes planning easier. Engaging activities. Will use year after year!

My students absolutely LOVED camp Read A Lot! Their favorite activities were the ones where they could walk the room. It allowed for skill practice while they were also having fun! They even asked if they could do them more than once!

I teased this as a reward for good behavior and it DID NOT let me (or my students) down! This was so fun! I’ve gotten a lot of positive emails from parents already who say their child can’t stop talking about this day in our room. Thank you so much!
Bailey Pitman –
My students were so engaged. They were begging to hop in their tents and read with their flashlights. They also loved all of the camp activities that were provided in this package. I planned to do 1 day of Camp Read A Lot, but we ended up doing it all week!
Rachel W. –
My students had a blast using this for a camping room transformation! I used it for an observation and my principal loved how engaged the students were!
Kathy B. –
Best…Day… Ever!! were the words out of my students at the end of our camp out! Loved the centers that went with the unit. Challenging enough for all students plus the cooperation among the kiddos was above and beyond. Totally the best…day..ever!
Rachel H. –
This was an amazing resources for students especially for the end of the school year! They absolutely loved it especially since most of our kids have never experienced camping before.

My students had a blast during Camp-Read-A-Lot. Everyone needed a change in the routine that was fun and engaging. This resource was perfect to practice skills with opportunities to move around the room. 🙂
