Happy National Relaxation Day! 🏝️😎

At Challenge Island, we’re usually building, creating, problem-solving, laughing, getting messy, and VERY busy taking on our next challenge. 😂

But even the best little engineers, creators, and problem-solvers need some time to relax and recharge!

So today, we’re giving you a Challenge Island challenge that might be our easiest one yet:

Do something that helps you RELAX! ☀️📚🧩

Maybe it’s reading a book, watching a movie, coloring, playing outside, building with LEGOs, snuggling up with your pet, or just doing absolutely NOTHING for a little while. For us, a little trip to Lake Tahoe will do the trick! 💙

Now we want to know...

What does your kiddo choose when they get to have a completely relaxing day? Tell us in the comments! 👇

Happy National Son and Daughter Day! ❤️🏝️

Meet two of my favorite Challenge Islanders, my son Jax and my daughter Charlotte! ❤️

These two get a front row seat to all things Challenge Island. They’ve tested activities, played with more slime than I can count, listened to countless camp ideas, helped behind the scenes, and given me LOTS of very honest kid feedback. 😂

But they’re also a huge part of why I love what I do.

As a mom, I want Challenge Island to be a place I would be excited to send my own kids. A place where kids can be creative, make friends, build confidence, get messy, laugh, try new things, and make the kind of memories they’ll talk about long after camp is over. ❤️

Today I’m celebrating my two, but I want to celebrate YOURS too!

Tell me about your son or daughter in the comments! What is something they are completely obsessed with right now? Slime? Minecraft? Pokémon? Sports? Art? Dinosaurs? Something totally random? 😂👇

I want to hear what our Challenge Island kids are loving right now! 🏝️
