Brother and Sister Act: Summer Camps

  发表日期:2009年5月19日      年度:08-09    期刊:51       【编辑录入:ell02】

 

很多同学都参加过夏令营,在那里跟老师和一些同龄的孩子度过一段难忘的时光。可是有人组织过夏令营吗?你也许会说这是大人们做的事情。可是美国的一对兄妹就分别组织了自己的夏令营,而且都很成功哦!

 

No one will ever say that Sophie and Zach Galant are lazy. The brother and sister each founded summer camps while they were still in high school in Dallas in America.
    Zach is now a 19-year-old who is just starting at Stanford University. He started Tera Byte, a video game camp for third to eighth graders when he was 14 years old. The camp helps children to learn "how to add things, how to make your people move and how to create enemies. It also explains how to collect things and how to grow stronger in video games.
    Zach ran the camp out of a computer lab at his school for two years. He also paid a share1 of the money that he earned from the business to his school. In 2006 he had a new idea, and he bought 13 computers and started the busi-ness in his parents’garage.

Last summer he held five one-week sessions2 with 90 children, 20 computers and 5 counselors3, taking in about $36,000 (at $399 a student).
    "My biggest advertisement was going to classes at school and talking to people,"says Zach. He plans to make his camp bigger and move into the neighboring community4. "I would talk to the whole third graders all at the same time and explain to them what I did. Then they’d have to tell their parents about it."
 

Notes:

1. share n.份额;一份

2. session n.会议

3. counselor n.顾问

4. community n.社区
