Blue Star Summer Camp - The Home Edition!
Four weeks of fun from July 20 - August 14
COVID-19 has thrown a wrench into most summer camp plans for kids. So, here at Blue Star Families, we're kicking off our inaugural virtual Blue Star Summer Camp to help keep your elementary-aged milkids engaged, busy, and active this season, even while social distancing!
Register today to join us for four weeks of fun, which will include:
Field Trips!
3pm ET/Noon PT
During a one-hour Zoom event on Mondays and Wednesdays, campers will tour selected museums with a knowledgeable guide. The field trips will support the theme of the week and are designed to be as engaging as possible, knowing that you're at home in front of a computer screen.
At-home Activities!
Each day will feature a selection of self-directed activities and ideas for your kids to tackle at home. Supply lists will be posted to prepare to take on the art and science projects using many materials you might already have around the house or in your craft drawer. We'll also include some suggestions for outdoor play, yoga videos, scavenger hunts, virtual park visits, and more!
Campfires!
3pm ET/Noon PT
We'll wrap up the week every Friday with a one-hour Zoom event, allowing campers to unite across the globe to sing campfire songs, show off their favorite projects, and maybe even meet a special guest or go on an extra field trip!
