About Vacation Station
Vacation Station is a project of MPTV's Outreach Services. Now in its fifteenth year, it encourages children aged four through twelve to make the best use of their summer vacation.
A popular activity magazine is published and distributed free of charge to children at libraries, recreation centers and youth-serving community organizations in southeastern Wisconsin. Since the magazine adapts the state's summer reading theme, many libraries use it as an incentive for children to join their summer reading programs.
Television programs in the MPTV 10-1 HD lineup are highlighted in the magazine and appeal to a variety of interests. They are designed to address many important learning needs of children. The magazine also contains a summer reading list, crafts, games, recipes, puzzles, and several art and literacy-based activities.
In 2008, the Vacation Station Project received a Public Relations Society of America Paragon Awards- Merit Award for providing opportunities for children to read, learn and create.
MPTV is a viewer-supported service of MATC
