The Scranton (PA) Times Tribune (7/13, Hall) reports that as the immigrant population has expanded in the Scranton, Pennsylvania, area, the district "is operating an English as a Second Language summer camp" for the first time in a number of years. "About 150 kindergarten through fifth-grade students are enrolled in the five-week program." The Times Tribune notes that some 8% of the district's students are enrolled in ESL classes. "During the five-week program, which is funded through federal grants, students receive breakfast and lunch, work on reading and writing skills and attend field trips on Fridays."
