Welcome to post #70 of Club at Home! Every day, we share content that brings Club programs, traditions, and staff into the homes of members. This spring, 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 sharing Best of Club at Home! Follow along all week long as we celebrate their creative original content from the past few months.
Today’s Best of Club at Home shares activities for members across all age groups, including Tasty Tuesday, friendship bracelets, video games, and more.
Plus, today through Friday, our partner The Drawing Lab is hosting a free virtual art camp on Facebook! Click here to learn more and register.
