Camp TFK can help parents entertain their kids with content they can trust and feel good about, that requires little to no supervision.” Curated by _TIME for Kids_ editors, the free Camp TFK newsletter delivers a schedule of activities each weekday morning across a wide range of interests and skill levels, including arts and crafts, sports and games, performance skills, scientific concepts, and storytelling. Camp TFK is designed to be accessible to anyone, and all featured activities require minimal special supplies beyond everyday household items. At the beginning of the week, Camp TFK subscribers will be sent a preview of the following week’s activities and any recommended supplies to help parents prepare. Camp TFK is the latest offering from _TIME for Kids_ that aims to help families, kids and teachers navigate distance learning and school and camp closures as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. In March, the trusted in-classroom publication was made available digitally, for free, and in multiple languages including Spanish and Chinese, for the first time with the launch of the _TIME for Kids_ digital library, which has been accessed by over 340,000 people worldwide. For the first time, _TIME for Kids_ also extended its editorial publishing calendar, which typically concludes in May, through July to help keep kids engaged and connected throughout the summer months.
