When kids stay engaged with reading and learning all summer long, they’re set up for success when school starts up again in the fall.

That’s why I was proud to support summer learning programs across the state, where more than 48,000 students enjoy hands-on science projects, writing instruction, and outdoor adventures that will lay the foundation for lifelong learning and put them on a pathway to success.

According to new research from Oregon State University, public recreation spaces like parks, hiking trails, and beaches are essential health infrastructure, similar to pharmacies or hospitals.

I’ve seen firsthand how important it is for young minds to stay curious and challenged all year round. When kids keep reading and exploring during the summer, they return to school excited and prepared for success.

These programs are making a real difference for Oregon families, helping to close learning gaps and building a brighter future for every child. So if you stand with us, sign on right now.
