A free, self-paced activity experience to stay entertained and connected with other military kids and families for eight weeks this summer.

Each week, participants will receive a series of “Challenges” to get them reading, exploring nature, drawing, connecting with family, and even helping in their community. From June to July, we’ll meet virtually every Wednesday in a “Global Gathering” to share the past week’s adventures with one another.
