	STAR Summer Camp Children Testimonials STAR is really cool. I like it because I get to be with all my friends and learn a lot during summer, from typing to art to music. - Marino, age 12 STAR is fun because we get to read a lot, go on lots of field trips, use the computers and learn programs like PowerPoint. I make a lot of friends here and get to learn things with them. It's a lot better than staying at home watching TV during the summer! - Madisleny, age 11 We learn a lot and have fun activities in STAR. The large print books I get have helped me a lot in school, and I like learning with a lot of friends that I've made here during my second year in STAR at Miami Lighthouse. - Taknighis, age 12
