What is Screen Free Week?
The average American devotes more than 10 hours a day to screen time. Get these hours back and reap the benefits by participating in screen free week. Screen Free Week is dedicated time to turn off the screen and turn on improved sleep, better regulated moods, and more organized behavior – all benefits of less screen time. Make it a family affair devoted to ditching the screen.
Register and participate in screen-free activities all week long. Registration is FREE and open to all, ages 5 and up.
