Graphic novels have become a beloved part of school literature—and for good reason! They boost literacy, spark a love of reading, and offer a vibrant, visual way for children to express emotions and ideas.

This summer, Rooster & Hen Resources is excited to partner with the Chicago Park District to bring the magic of graphic novels to Day Camp at Holstein Park! With our deep passion for storytelling and art-making, this creative collaboration is a natural fit—and we can't wait to share it with the campers.

Designed especially for our older campers (grades 6 and up), this graphic novel activity is all about personalization and creative freedom. Campers will design unique character profiles, choose from a variety of layout styles, and bring it all together in their own bound graphic novel. It’s a standout way to showcase their imagination—and swap stories with friends for even more inspiration all summer long!
