The Divergent trilogy enters a dystopian Chicago where society is broken into five virtues: Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). Each day will focus on one of the trilogy’s five “factions,” and activities will highlight related traits, bringing the books to life.  Reading the book is not a prerequisite to this camp.  Parents are invited to join us on Friday for a Divergent presentation from the campers.  Refreshments created by the campers will also be served!

Please bring a copy of Divergent.
