Summer Information
Through a collaboration of Ohio’s eight PBS stations, Ohio Learns 360 offers learning resources to summer and afterschool programs for children in K-5th grades. Free “camp-in-a-box” program kits include a week’s worth of activities for 20 students and a facilitator’s guide. You can also book virtual education programs with PBS educators for read-alouds, hands-on activities, and clips from favorite PBS KIDS shows, or access virtual field trips to some of Ohio’s leading museums and science centers. Find out more and register at Ohio Learns 360: https://ohiolearns360.org/
The initiative is a partnership of Ohio’s PBS stations and the Ohio Department of Education.
