Get kids reading with the Summer Challenge Champions program!

The Ypsilanti District Library (YDL) is seeking summer camps to partner with our Summer Challenge Champions program (SCC).  SCC partners receive a bin of read-aloud books to borrow for the duration of their summer program and reading prizes for their participants. An optional independent reading bin for your reading-age kids is also available.  This year, we are asking the participants about their favorite parts of STEM to provide a great activity. 

Your location will receive up to three visits: the first and last visit will include the Bookmobile, a storyteller, and a free book. The second visit will include a STEM activity and the handout of free STEM toy kits. YDL will provide the structure and tools to challenge kids’ reading with a goal of 20 minutes each day. With your help, we can ensure every child has the chance to read and listen to books every day. 

The Summer Challenge Champion visits are for Summer Camps ONLY.  If your camp is interested in a visit, please complete the form below:
