Things To Do While You're Home

As we were preparing our annual Spring events and “things to do” list, we thought we would change it up a bit. To better fit in with this new world of social distancing that has entered our lives over the past month, our team pulled together the following list of resources and ideas to help fill our days with fun, learning and laughter (with a little healthy exercise mixed in).

We wanted to share our list in hopes that it brings others a little enjoyment as well. We’ll be updating and adding to it over the next few weeks, so if you have any suggestions, leave a comment, send us an email or DM us on Facebook!
