Summer Fun Activities

Below is a list of activities for your family to enjoy. There are activities for all ages that include virtual field trips, activities to do at home, activities to do in your community, and things around Colorado. Have fun exploring!

It is always wonderful to see the amazing things you are doing at home. If you take part in one of these activities, take a picture and email it to thomasjennifer@wsd3.org. We will make a newsletter in August showing all the fun our families had over the summer.

We hope your family has a great summer and we will see you back in August!
