 Get the whole family involved in today’s Camp Weary Parent activities! Going along with our nature theme for the week, its all about going green and being eco-friendly today!
Start off by finding out what kind of ecological footprint you are leaving with one of these quizzes: Then do an audit on your own home - what is your energy use like, where can you cut back, and what can you change? By getting the kids involved in the process, they are more likely to turn off that extra light! Talk with the kids about ways to go green. I love this article at iVillage that has age-appropriate ideas and tips for going green with the kids.  And more fun sites, activities and crafts to help make it even easier to go green as a family!
