Camp Dragonwings Summertime Activities for Kids Fun for Kids at Dragonwings Waupaca, WI

Darts and Spinners Challenge - Test Your Skills
Our new summer camp series of workshops starts next week!  At this first session we will give each camper their very own safety dart set and a dueling spinners set.  We will give a demonstration of our amazing skills (yikes!), then everyone gets to practice, and after that, we have a competition.  Registration fee is $7.50.  For ages 5 to 10.  Tuesday July 6th 3:00PM. 

Eco-friendly Grandparenting Workshops
Before Sharon Lovejoy came in May, I sat down and read her new book Toad Cottages and Shooting Stars from cover to cover.  Wow!  I was so inspired, I immediately decided to plan a summer workshop series for grandparents (with or without their grandchildren).  Each of the workshops in this new series will include a long-distance project, an at-home project, and an outdoor project.  We won't just tell you about good ideas; this is a hands-on program with both indoor and outdoor projects.  The first class will include memory nature cards, a mad basket, leaf place cards and more.  Registration fee is $7.50 for grandparents, $2.50 for each grandchild.  Thursday July 8th 9:00AM.

To register for summer camp or our grandparent workshops call Dragonwings Bookstore at  (715)256-9186 or e-mail us.

We have autographed copies of Sharon Lovejoy's books for sale at Dragonwings!

Dragonwings Bookstore Fun for Kids Waupaca, WI Our Dragon Friends Are Missing!

Help!
We have a problem here at Dragonwings. Our dragon friends Stripe, Flame, and Scales are missing! The last time we saw the mischievous threesome they were reading  My Father's Dragon by Ruth Stiles Gannett. My Father's Dragon is the story of a young boy named Elmer Elevator who goes on an adventure to save a young dragon, who is being held hostage in a faraway land called Wild Island.  Before we knew it, Stripe, Flame, and Scales were gone. We think they may have gotten lost in the store while on an adventure of their own. Will you stop in and help us find our dragons? A small treasure awaits anyone who helps us locate our wayward group...

Shoot-Out

by Mike Lupica

There is one sport Jake loves to play: soccer. As the star center mid fielder, he's exactly where he wants to be. The problem is this star player has ended up on the worst team ever. It's not that he doesn't like the other kids on his team, is just that they don't have the skills to pull together a win. It was humiliating to have other teams hang back just so they wouldn't beat Jake's team by too much. Jake must get used to losing or give up on the game he loves. He must learn what it means to be a good player and good leader on and off the field.

Ladybug Girl at the Beach

by David Soman and Jacky Davis

Ladybug Girl, Lulu, and her dog, Bingo, are back and this time they are on the way to the beach - which Lulu knows she'll love! When she gets there, however, she's not so sure about those big waves and those huge roaring sounds. Bingo barks at the wave because he's not so sure about the water any more, either. That's ok since they really came to the beach to build sand castles, fly Lulu's kite, and eat ice cream. But then the ocean tries to steal her favorite purple pail! This a job for Ladybug Girl! A fun story about a beautiful day at the beach as well as over coming your fears. Lula and Bingo are wonderful characters to meet if you've never been introduced before. Happy reading!
