- BRC alumnus A cottage filled with books, magazines, games, and sofas...this is the Allen Kearns Library at Birch Rock. Books have always been important at camp, and this cozy cabin is a popular destination for boys to browse the shelves or play a game of chess. Campers look forward to quiet time in the middle of their active days, and they ease into a routine of reading for pleasure here.
One-on-one sessions and small group instruction are available at an additional fee by Tracy Goodwin, our librarian and a camp mom. Tracy is an elementary school teacher and reading specialist. Please contact Tracy directly at 207-966-1000 (between 5 -8 PM EST) to design a program for your camper. 
"I am tearing through my books. H.P. Lovecraft and Brave New World are finished...thanks for the book you sent me. I haven't yet sat down to read it because it looks a tad intimidating, but I'm sure it will be the first worthy successor to The Superior Person's Book of Words."

"If it wasn’t for the summer reading program at camp, I would never have finished high school, gone to college and become the educator that I am today." 
Tutoring is offered at Birch Rock to help campers make progress in areas of individual difficulty. This can be a wonderful opportunity to boost reading levels, refine writing skills, or tackle math problems. English as a second language is also offered to our campers.
