Friday, July 10, 2020
Welcome to post #74 of Club at Home! Every day this spring, we have shared content that brings Club programs, traditions, and staff into the homes of members. Our goal has been to provide fun and educational activities to our Club members and families while our Clubs have been physically closed.
As our staff transitions to summer programming that will engage members in person and virtually, we’re shifting to a new Club at Home summer schedule. Follow along as we continue highlighting our favorite content from the previous months, shout out exciting club announcements, and share new creative original content every Tuesday and Friday.
Today’s Club at Home shares activities for members across all age groups, including drawing tips, a cooking showcase, music production, new dance moves, homemade Mancala boards, an equipment-free workout, and more.
