The Rotary Club of Hamilton has made the decision to operate the Rotary Summer literacy program this summer. The Rotary Summer Literacy Program is a free camp-style program that focuses on literacy. The Rotary Summer Literacy Program is designed to engage, enrich, educate, and excite, creating a truly special learning experience for one and all.
This summer would have been the 20th Anniversary year of the program. Each summer hundreds of children would participate in the program from across Hamilton. After weeks of planning and discussion with public health officials, the Rotary Club of Hamilton made the decision to operate the program this summer.
The Rotary Club of Hamilton is proud to offer children in Kindergarten to Grade 5 the Rotary Summer Literacy Program - IN THE PARK. To Celebrate our 20th Anniversary and to be able to offer free, safe programming during the COVID-19 Pandemic, we are changing things up for 2020!
The Rotary Summer Literacy Program will operate FIVE – 90-minute sessions each week. The program will take place outdoors in the park but will have all the fun learning elements to get ready for back to school! Our Councilors will engage, guide participants with independent reading & writing activities and have FUN!
The Rotary Summer Literacy Program will operate at TB McQueston Park on Hamilton Mountain and at Woodland Park in the Wever Community. Each participant will receive activities to be completed at home in addition to the park sessions. Rotarians will continue to be Rotarians of the Day at the Camp and each child will receive a Rotary backpack filled with back to school supplies and 3 new books to take home thanks to the club's partner - Hamilton Public Library.
