CoffeeTree Books to host Camp CoffeeTree summer reading program

CoffeeTree Books

CoffeeTree Books will be hosting its annual Camp CoffeeTree summer reading program for 2020.

Signups will be open May 1 and continue through May 25.

Guardians will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire for each participant so that booksellers can hand-select books tailored to their interests.

Like everything else, Camp CoffeeTree 2020 will look a little different.

This year, Camp CoffeeTree will include one to two books in a complementary knapsack, along with a toy or a project, and perhaps a treat. This will repeat every two weeks for 10 weeks, so that's five different packages customized for each young camper.

Each package will be available for pickup, curbside (or mailed, if that's better for you) to take home for a more solitary adventure. Because right now, especially, books can take you places you can't go in real life.

The cost is $75 per child for five curbside pickups, $100 per child for five mailed packages. All ages, toddler to teens, are invited to participate.

First pick-up will be Monday, June 1 and then every two weeks after.
