Holes Brochure
Name__________________________date project is due___________
Imagine Camp Green Lake is a typical camp. The people who run the camp would
probably want to advertise in some way. Keeping in mind what Camp Green Lake
is really like, your task is to design a brochure to advertise the camp.
We know after reading the novel Holes that Camp Green Lake was not a fun place
to be. Stanley only chose the camp because it sounded better than jail and he had
never been to camp. Your brochure could be humorous by making the activities at
camp green lake sound like a great time. Most real camp brochures include
information about location, organized activities, skills that campers will learn,
sleeping/eating/bathing facilities, and any special features. For example, at Camp
Green Lake the campers experience the excitement of digging for buried treasure
and how to defend your-self against yellow spotted lizards. A good brochure
should be very informative and colorful. Be creative and have fun with this project!
