As part of Warren County Unplugged, local organizations are teaming up to provide some fun screen-free time for our local children and youth!The fun begins on Friday evening, March 7th, at 5:45 pm, with a Youth Unplugged Party at the Health & Human Services Complex. Youth of all ages will have the opportunity to meet up at the gym for free pizza provided by Warren County Parks & Recreation (while supplies last). The first 225 people will receive a free “smartphone nap-sack,” with wiki stix for elementary school-aged children. Some of the nap-sacks will have a surprise gift card!
There will be a countdown to 6:00 pm, when people will turn off their phones (or at least drop them into the nap-sack and put them away).
Beginning at 6 pm, the activities will be split by ages. Warren County Parks and Recreation and Young Life will host middle school and high school students at the gym, with volleyball and cornhole tournaments, arts and crafts, and backyard games such as spike ball and can jam. This part will be open until 10 pm.
Elementary school students and their parents will head over to Diversified Minds, where they will enjoy Resilience Bingo (with PRIZES!), Affirmations Jenga, archery, inflatable bowling, Uno games, and more. Warren Coalition, Warren County Sheriff’s Office, and Scouting America are hosting this section, which runs until 8:30 pm.
There will also be a parent information session at 6:15 to provide education about the impact smartphones have on our children and how parents can set healthy boundaries. A free copy of The Anxious Generation will be given to the first six sets of parents/guardians who attend, with addition door prizes ranging in value from $7 to $50!
