Kids Off Screens

We notify parents about free or low-cost, non-digital fun for kids and families. We’re proudly partnering with BARN to provide more free or low-cost after-school and weekend options for tweens and teens in our community, and we hope to add to our list of partners in the future.

Upcoming

August 14 : 3 - 4 pm

Carve a spoon

A hands-on introduction to safe tool use and crafting simple wooden projects for beginners.

Build and paint a box that you'll use to help you through hard times. A multi-studio project, we'll start in the wood shop, paint your box in the classroom, and even stop by the garden for herbs.
