MORE SUMMER, LESS BUMMER

Many of us look forward to summer all year. And we know for certain that our kids do! The average “School’s Out Summer” is 99 days. 14 weeks. About 1,500 waking hours to enjoy the season we’ve been waiting for since the last one. But - wouldn’t it be a TOTAL BUMMER if we missed out on 1-2 weeks of that precious summer sunshine? Or worse…a full MONTH of summer, gone? That’s exactly what scrolling costs us at 1hr/day, 3hrs/day and 7.5hrs/day (avg teen scroll time). And that’s why, this summer, The Balance Project is asking the families in our 300 communities (and beyond!) to reclaim the small, real-life moments that add up to a life fully lived. Not by going off-grid. Not by “detoxing.” By being where we actually are. Let’s not let this season slip by. This summer, we want MORE SUMMER. LESS BUMMER.
