COLA-LitSumm-01 - Camp Pageturner: Summer Reading & Writing at the CLC
Course Description
Camp Pageturner - Summer 2026
At Camp Pageturner, children spend each week exploring their passions through a literacy lens. Each day includes all the summer fun you’d expect, like field games or trips to the pool. It also includes lots of opportunities to have fun reading and writing.
Throughout the week, campers take part in fun and motivating reading and writing activities based on that week’s theme. Participants read books, use their imaginations, and take part in all sorts of creative writing.
2026 programming includes:
- Science Theme Collaboration with the Leitzel Center: Your child will explore inventing, earth science, math, reading and writing–all wrapped up in a typical summer camp experience! See the Session Descriptions below for more information on the sessions that are part of this collaboration.
- 1-1 Literacy Support: Want individual reading/writing instruction for your child? Register for our Pageturner 1:1 Literacy Support option. Students will meet with a CLC Program Leader for four 30-minute sessions during camp hours. This option costs $60/week and will appear after adding a camp session to your shopping cart. A student must be enrolled in the corresponding week of Camp Pageturner to participate.
- Camp Pageturner Comic-Con: This summer, our mini-week (June 29-July 2) will have a Comic-Con theme - think making and reading comics, creating costumes, dressing up as and creating stories for your favorite characters!
Families are invited to attend a showcase or performance at 4pm each week on Friday. Camp will still end at the regular time, and the showcase or performance will be recorded if you cannot attend.
Campers are required to bring their own lunch.
Camp Pageturner is held at Murkland Hall, 15 Library Way, Durham, NH. Please note this is a different location from past years. Details regarding drop off locations, times, and other information is sent from program staff via email to enrolled participant parents/guardians before the session start date. Please be sure the email address provided during enrollment is that of a parent/legal guardian, not the participating student.
