Make mischief and memories with activities like Glow-in-the-Dark Geometry, Bouncy Dice Explosion and Pirate Treasure Hunt. See below for a week by week activity breakdown:
Week 1. Glow-in-the-Dark Geometry: Make geometric shapes using glow sticks. Lay out the
sticks to create mystical repeating patterns. Then flick off the lights to see it all glow!

beach ball to play volleyball, then go gaga chucking the ball against targets to score points.
Week 3. Spy Training: See if you have what it takes to be a spy. You’ll break different codes for
clues to find the hidden treasure!
