Virtual ParentCamp! Week 4 New this week, a room in Arabic! Join us Wednesday 4/15 8 pm ET/5pm PT, Register by 4 pm ET/1 pm PT on Wednesday 4/15

We can’t tell you how much everyone is enjoying Virtual ParentCamp, you must experience it!

Thank you to everyone for their feedback each week, you are helping us to make the experience even better! Laura is in the process of making an introductory video which explains ParentCamp and the ground rules for everyone to watch prior to attending. This will help shorten the beginning introductory time and give us more time for sessions. We have also shortened the feedback questions at the end to just 3-4. By making these changes, we can get back to our original one hour format.

New this week, a room in Arabic along with Spanish! We are so excited! If you know someone or multiple people who would be willing to facilitate a room in other languages, please put them in contact with us.

Registration is open now until 4 pm ET/1 pm PT on Wednesday, April 15^th. Due to the size of our Zoom account and managing the event, it will be limited to 100 participants.
