Get in Sync this Summer with Free Audiobooks

Summertime....hazy, lazy days to sit back and listen to some 1D, Taylor, Beyonce, Gaga, Katy and.....Shakespeare???????

That's right.  This summer, instead of listening to the top 40 tunes, how about listening to some of the top YA or classic books?  

Each week during the summer, SYNC will be providing two free audiobooks, one YA and one classic, for anyone to download. One day you can listen to a current hit like Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge and the next day you can crank up a golden oldie' like The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane. 

Check out the SUMMER 2014 SYNC TITLE LINEUP  and then click here to download your first pair of audiobooks.  Happy listening!

Get Your Greek On At Camp Half-Blood

Think you have what it takes to swim like Poseidon and shoot an arrow like Artemis?  Or, are you the quiet, peaceful type like Hephaestus or Hestia?  Big fan of the Percy Jackson series? If so, it is time to get your Greek on!
This summer, St. Vincent College in Latrobe, PA is giving you the opportunity to make like a real-life mythological god at their Camp Half-Blood Challenge Program.  Camp Half—Blood is a five-day overnight program offering classes and activities based on the Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series.
The camp runs from July 6 - 11. The overnight program includes residence on campus for the length of camp (Sunday night through Friday afternoon), three meals per day in the college dining hall, daytime elective activities (crafts, sports...etc.), evening events (such as off campus events for the themed week, dances...etc.), refreshments, instructional fees and classroom supplies for three courses, and a Challenge t-shirt.

Camping for Tech-Types

Sick of  s'mores?  Tired of spraying on bug repellant only to become a late night snack for hordes of insects?  The smoke from the campfire keep blowing in your face no matter where you sit?  Well, if the "usual" summer camping experience isn't your thing, why not instead spend your summer days with robots, rockets and Legos?  If that sounds good, Camp Tech is the place for you!  Pack your camping gear (no sleeping bag here...just a bagged lunch!) and register soon.  Space is limited.  Mosquitoes are prohibited.
