Take a break from the dark days of winter and join us for a fun evening of summer camp stories and a discussion of the process of creating a graphic novel with Croton cartoonist Eric Glickman and his brother, Richie - plus a book signing, canteen snacks and 70s music!

Camp Pock-a-Wocknee and the DYN-O-MITE Summer of ‘77 is a coming-of-age graphic novel celebrating the magic, memories, and mishegas that make up summers at Jewish sleepaway camp. Mashing up a nostalgic mood similar to The Wonder Years with the teenage rambunctiousness of a Superbad, Camp Pock-a-Wocknee combines black & white, comic strip-style art with a “not-for-kids” story to capture the tension created when the innocence of childhood crashes into the messiness of adolescence. 

Books will be available for purchase and signing. The event is free, but we appreciate early RSVPs to help with planning. Please click here to register.
