Here is some information regarding some things you and your family can do over the summer!
Kids In Control – Website here
- “The programs are prevention-focused and aim to foster resilience. They provide children and youth with opportunities to practice healthy coping strategies, provide knowledge about mental illness and connect with peers who have similar experiences. A key goal of the group is to let the children and youth know that they are not the only ones experiencing these challenges.”
- Videos to watch with the family – “These videos will help children learn how to take care of themselves by bringing topics from Kids in Control to families in their own homes. These are difficult times for everyone, most of it out of our control. By learning ways to take care of themselves and their feelings, children can feel a sense of control again. Families are encouraged to watch these videos together.”

National Geographic
- Learn at Home – Curated collections of learning activities to implement at home. By educators. For educators, parents, and caregivers.
- Explorer Classroom – To support educators and families and to keep young minds engaged this summer, we are pleased to share our first-ever National Geographic Summer Learning Series. Over the course of eight weeks, National Geographic will offer unique opportunities for young people to stay engaged in meaningful learning, ignite their spirit of exploration, and connect with others. Each week, virtually visit a different part of the world and learn about its geographic features, population, climate, ecology, biodiversity, culture, history and more.
Starting the week of June 15th, Explorer Classroom has a new schedule. Join us on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The live video events, streamed on YouTube, connect young people with National Geographic Explorers—leading scientists, researchers, educators and storytellers—as they share their stories and experiences from the field.
Events are free and open to the public. Register for a chance at one of six on-camera spots to ask Explorers your questions face to face!
