“I am truly grateful for the opportunity to still be creative and to provide activities for our families. Not only so we may engage the members but most importantly, continuing the positive relationships that some took years to build… We stand together throughout everything and anything.” — Charlestown Club Staff
Welcome to post #71 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 Win It Wednesday, stop motion animation, smART Talks, music production, 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.
