We hope that everyone is doing well as we bring you an exciting announcement: CoMO SEPTA is inviting everyone to take part in our (virtual) Camp Kind! Even though we’re distant, we can still have fun and be kind together. Every day from May 4th through May 10th we’ll focus on a different way to be kind, and we’ll share a craft, activity, and food-related idea to go along with it. You can take pictures of your adventures and share on social media using #comocampkind so we can all see our friends’ fun times! You can feel free to tag us too, @comosepta on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. We can’t wait to see what you do!
All activities can be done at home, but we’re trying to put a social element in there too. Some ideas will involve making things that you can e-mail, or send through the actual mail, some activities will encourage you to call or videochat with a friend. And of course, sharing on social media using #comocampkind will let your friends follow along in your Camp Kind exploits. Social fun can still be had even if you’re not close enough to touch someone. And bear in mind, this is intended to be fun. If you can’t do all the activities, or you do things “off schedule”.. no worries! Do the things that interest you, share what you feel like, and HAVE FUN!
