What is Screen-Free Week?
Screen-Free Week is an annual nationwide event sponsored by Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood that is celebrated by thousands of families, schools, and communities around the world! It is an invitation to play, explore, and rediscover the joys of life beyond ad-supported screens.
Due to COVID19-related social distancing, Screen-Free Week is now Screen-Free Saturdays. However, the York Area Recreation Directions have created a way for you to STILL celebrate Screen-Free Week by providing a list of at-home challenges for you to do each day while still staying safe!
To learn more about Screen-Free Week and how to participate in Screen-Free Saturdays, visit www.screenfree.org.
