Even though we are back to in-person programming, we thought there might still be some value in at-home activities. See below for fun ideas that you can do at home. Submit a picture or video of you doing one of our activities and get entered in a drawing for prizes. Prizes will be distributed on a seasonal basis. Make sure you hit "submit" at the bottom of the form. (Click HERE for the form.)
