The 5-2-1 Action Group and its parent group, Cambridge's Healthy Children Task Force, invites you to join us in celebrating national screen-free week. This weeklong event in the city is designed to support and inform thoughtful choices about screen-time. Have a look at the week's menu of screen-free fun and see what meets you or your family's schedule and interests. This weeklong campaign has been created to remind all of us of the many ways to play, interact, relax, and be creative without digital devices, TVs, or screens (including smartphones).
Everything during the week has been volunteer-organized and volunteer-run and is free.
