get ready for summer fun!!

Rye Reads Learning Center offers camps that are fun and educational. Children learn through play as they strengthen their life skills in an interactive, supervised environment. 

Summer is a great time to expand your child’s knowledge of familiar topics or explore new ones!  Each week of our Summer Camp focuses on a different theme to keep our campers engaged and happy to return! 

Summer Camp groups are organized by age – toddlers, 2s, 3/4 or aged 5/6. Summer Camp is located at our two downtown Rye locations 30 Elm Place and 43 Theodore Fremd.
