Inspiring Young Minds Through Literacy

Help Us Create Another Summer of Learning, Laughter, and Possibility
The Rotary Summer Literacy Program is returning in 2026, and we are preparing for another inspiring season that brings children together to read, learn, explore, and grow.
Each summer, nearly 200 students per day take part in two unforgettable weeks filled with stories, music, movement, creativity, and friendship — all in a safe, welcoming environment designed to build confidence and spark a lifelong love of learning.
Now in its 28th year, this program continues to make a meaningful difference for children across Hamilton. Through reading, writing, and hands-on creative activities, young minds stay active, engaged, and excited about school success.
