It's a chance to come together with others of similar interests and learn together. Dave talked with Norah Alwalan about how this will feature both in person and virtual opportunities.

    Maybe the one good thing that has come out of COVID is the increased opportunities to experience things we otherwise may not have been able to because they are now offered virtually. The Smithsonian Summer Camps are one such thing, and Kelsy had a chance to talk to the camps Director Brigitte Blachère about how Michiana kids can experience virtually the camps that kids in D.C. will be experiencing in person along the mall at all the Smithsonian locations.

    Winter is a fun time to be out and adventuring in the snow. But for families with little ones, being in a crowd of other can sometimes be too overwhelming. So Saint Patrick's County Park will be opening their tubing hill early and having other activities during a time set aside for families with preschoolers. Amal Farrough shared how those families can come enjoy all the fun for just $5 per family (if there is snow). Anyone interested is asked to call ahead to sign up.
