BookTrails Scholars Program

The BookTrails Scholars Program is a targeted program that provides summertime literacy education to at-risk youth. Participants are referred through their teachers and receive a week at camp matriculated with their peers and weekly literacy classes throughout the summer. All students participating in the BookTrails Scholars Program are experiencing the double disadvantage of trying to learn the English language while also showing deficiencies in their reading skills. The program provides consistent literacy education to 30 students throughout the summer. Once a child joins the BookTrails Scholars in first grade, they are in the program every summer until ninth grade. BookTrails and our BookTrails Scholars make a commitment to each other in turn, we promise to provide consistent, summertime literacy education and mentorship.
