Camp Kinda is a free online virtual camp that will run from June 1 through September 1st. Campers will receive activities every weekday that tie into the overall theme for the week.

Nothing boring. We’re talking about exploring the art of graphic novels, unlocking the mysteries of history, or jumping into the world’s craziest sports. Start any time you want. End any time you want. Camp Kinda runs on your schedule. We’ll add new adventures every week, and save them all for you right here.

Even after the summer, Camp Kinda will be a collection of resources that you can use in your classroom.
