Summer Activity Guides

Summers are for fun and engaged learning. In 2020 as the impact of the pandemic is widely felt, summer opportunities will be different for young people, families, and afterschool and summer program staff. The Summer Activity Guides were developed by the Georgia Statewide Afterschool Network to help engage youth with supportive adults in a range of places. The Guides include 150 original activities and challenges organized by age groups. The activities are adaptable for in-person and virtual instruction, or a hybrid of both, as well as sent as take-home packets.
