First Things First
Summer Camp 2021 is a reading and activities program you participate in wherever you are. It’s designed to be fun and flexible, and to benefit our community and local businesses.
Who can participate?
Summer Camp is for all ages — babies, tots, kids, teens, and adults. Anyone, anywhere can join in!
When does it happen?
- The first camp session, Arts & Crafts, begins Tuesday, June 1. After that, a new camp begins every Monday through August 2. Each session is one week long. Participate in as many as you like!
- To get a courtesy reminder for each new session, subscribe to Summer Camp emails.
How to participate
- Each camp session suggests events, activities, and reading — all related to that session's badge.
- Take part by reading, doing an activity, or attending an event to earn the badge and enter the Summer Camp raffles.
- New! You may also participate by Doing Some Good. Each week, the library will suggest a way that you can support our community through modest donations, often of items you may have on hand but no longer need.
- All reading counts; you don't have to read from the suggestions.
- Every member of your household can participate by simply submitting the form for the camp session. More about this in the next section, Claim Your Badge.
