Activity ideas for the week of 

June 12 - 18

The following schedule is just a guideline. There is no right or wrong way to do this. If you do not enjoy something - skip it! If you loved it, do it again.
Try adding in a social element - schedule a phone call with friends and do the same activity together or talk about it after you have done it.

We want to see what you have been up to! Email your photos to us at:  [email protected]
