Be A Super Hero At Home With New DC Kids Camp

Are you staying in? It’s true Superhero behavior to put the health and well being of those around you first, and DC knows that. With their brand new Kids Camp program, families can have super-powered fun, even while stuck indoors.

Today DC launched DC Kids Camp, a fun new program to help parents engage kids at home. Parents can follow DC Kids social channels—Twitter and  Instagram—to download kid-friendly, superhero-themed activities and previews of past and upcoming DC middle grade graphic novels to enjoy at home. The DC Kids social channels will also feature entertaining videos from all-star authors and artists for parents and kids to watch together.

With the DC Kids Camp resources, kids can learn to draw their favorite DC Super Heroes, hone their own comic skills, and follow along with fun videos like draw-alongs with Agnes Garbowska (DC Super Hero Girls), origami tutorials with Gene Luen Yang (Superman Smashes the Klan), make-your-own Green Lantern ring demonstrations with Minh Lê (Green Lantern: Legacy), along with many more activities to keep everybody entertained.

Activity sheets, coloring pages, blank comic book pages, middle grade graphic novel previews, and additional downloadable content will be shared daily to parents across DC Kids social channels. Parents can also receive DC Kids Camp content directly in their inboxes on Mondays and Fridays by signing up for the DC Family newsletter.

Not only this, but Monday through Friday at 10:00am PT, families can tune in to the @dccomicskids Twitter and @dckids Instagram channels for fun, interactive videos with DC artists and authors. The first installment, “Make a Green Lantern Ring with Minh Lê,” debuts today, Wednesday, March 25, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. PT.
