Digital Balance Initiative

Our newest project is our Digital Balance Initiative. This now describes our work in three key areas:

Our innovative Kids, Screens & Phones program, which operates in classrooms across the county, teaching children from kindergarten to 12th grade how to live a life of greater balance with technology. The program features an overarching curriculum, countless lessons tailored to issues faced by kids in our community from cyberbullying to group chats to screen addictions. Our KSP website has loads more information. Pictured on this page are participants in our first-ever Flip Phone Challenge!

Our brand-new Outdoor Digital Detox Program. Currently in the design phase, this will operate as both a summer camp (launching in June '26) and as a school-year offering (launching in August '26) of Mini-Intensives preparing kids for unstructured, screen-filled holiday time. This program will fuse together the games and activities of KSP with a focus on developing mindfulness techniques and new analog hobbies and skills – all delivered in an outdoor-recreation setting.

Participants will learn how to fish and hike, be mindful and relax, write and draw, knit and sew, and perform some basic gardening. Our campers will spend over an hour every day preparing meals outside, for a fire, a BBQ, an horno, and more. This will incorporate local cultural traditions and practices where and when possible. More info coming!

And lastly, with support from the Brindle Foundation, we are busy writing a print book for expecting parents, in collaboration with First Steps. How should they start preparing, even in pregnancy, for the screen life of their children? While this may have seemed unnecessary a decade ago, kids and their screens is a relationship that so often starts in infancy...
