LitCamp redefines summer learning with social and emotional support as the gateway to literacy.
LitCamp is an intensive literacy and enrichment program designed to celebrate and build on kids’ strengths in order to help them reach their full potential as engaged literacy learners who embrace the power of their own voices.
LitWorld partners with Scholastic, the world's largest publisher and distributor of children's books, to bring LitCamp to thousands of classrooms every summer, reaching over a million kids across the U.S. since 2015. Scholastic LitCamp is a breakthrough literacy program authored by LitWorld that combines engaging lessons with an interactive summer camp approach for Pre-K through 8th Grade in dynamic formats to suit in-school, hybrid, digital, English or Spanish language, and multilingual settings.
LitWorld pilots new LitCamp ideas along with our community based partners around the world so that we can bring those innovations to scale with Scholastic. Learn more at https://www.scholastic.com/content/educators/en/learn/litcamp.html.
