About this Toolkit

Dear educators and youth program providers,

Inspire your learning community to read, make, and explore with Summer of Adventure! We’ve designed this toolkit for classroom and informal educators to use during the last few weeks of school or during summer camps and programs. Our Summer of Adventure Educator Toolkit is your one-stop resource to keep kids reading, making, and exploring all summer long. You’ll find a Summer of Adventure newsletter, tips for caregivers and families, activity ideas for all ages, and other resources you can share with your community. Translations in Spanish, Vietnamese, Arabic, Somali, and Amharic.
