We all love our kids. We all love spending time with our kids. And most of us, between work and school and sports and everything else, feel as though we don’t get enough.

We weren’t, however, any of us, expecting to get quite as much “togetherness” as we currently have.

It’s okay to be overwhelmed. It’s okay to be struggling not to yell, “Everybody shut up for five seconds!” It’s okay to let them watch three movies on a Tuesday afternoon because damn it, you have to get some work done.

But even kids get bored of screen time eventually (I know; i’s nearly impossible to believe but I’m almost positive I saw it happen once), and we could all use some suggestions on how to fill those holes in the old “schedule.”

If your kids like superheroes, then your entire family is in luck!

DC Kids Camp starts today.

Per the press release:

“With DC Kids Camp, kids will learn how to draw their favorite DC Super Heroes, gain inspiration and skills to make their own comics, and unlock their creativity with fun, off-the-wall how-to videos like draw-alongs with Agnes Garbowska (DC Super Hero Girls), origami tutorials with Gene Luen Yang (Superman Smashes the Klan), make-your-own Green Lantern ring demonstrations with Minh Lê (Green Lantern: Legacy), and many more captivating activities!

Activity sheets, coloring pages, blank comic book pages, middle grade graphic novel previews, and additional downloadable content will be shared daily to parents across DC Kids social channels. Parents can also receive DC Kids Camp content directly in their inboxes on Mondays and Fridays by signing up for the DC Family newsletter.”

I know, right? Don’t think I won’t be right there with 7 and 10 on days I’m not in the office. Except maybe the origami. I suck at origami.

Everyone deserves to find some fun wherever they can right now. And if we’re going to be stuck at home, we may as well geek the place out.
