                    Here’s how it works for kids:

                    • We encourage reading every day and a summer goal of 20 hours of reading! 
                    • Keep track of your reading in the log. Color in a circle for every 30 minutes you read. Follow the trail and see where your reading takes you! 
                    • When you reach 10 hours, stop by the library to show us your log for a limited-edition Camp CHPL sticker sheet. When you reach 20 hours, bring your log back to the library. We’ll stamp it and give you a custom Camp CHPL prize and raffle entry. 

                    Here’s how it works for adults:

                    Read 3 books — any three! Audiobooks totally count. Rate and log each one in your reading log. Then choose (at least!) one of these two paths: 

                    Attend at least one signature summer event — like our Bring Your Own Book Club, CHPL Trivia Night, the Trails & Treats author event, or our Camp-themed Craft Night. 

                    OR Complete at least 3 items from our Summer Bucket List (you’ll find it inside your log). 

                    • Once you’ve completed your reading adventure bring your log in to get it stamped and collect your camp rewards: 
                      • A limited-edition Camp CHPL 2025 iron-on patch or button pin 
                      • A limited-edition Camp CHPL 2025 vinyl sticker sheet 
                      • And an entry into our grand prize raffle! (Psst… each signature event you attend earns you an extra raffle ticket.) 

                           Teens: choose whichever log you prefer!
