A Month-Long Literacy Adventure in Your Backyard
What Is the Kitsap Reading Trail?
The Kitsap Reading Trail is a fun, self-paced summer reading experience designed for families across Kitsap County! From July 25 to August 25, kids will explore local businesses and read featured children’s books placed at each stop along the way.
At each stop, they’ll get their Reading Trail Map stamped or stickered. Complete the map, and they’ll receive a prize — plus be entered into a final giveaway!
This event is FREE to participate in and perfect for summer break fun!
