Digital Rendezvous - Kids Day

It's here! Digital Kids Day has begun! Check back every half hour from 10:00 am CT to 1:30 pm CT for new activites for kids of all ages. Kids, or anyone who wants to participate, will learn about the history of Fort Union through fun arts and craft projects they can do at home!

Even though we can't see you, we'd love to see your finished projects. If you finish a project, you can post a picture in the comment section of that activity.....or you can do more and get something extra special from us here at Fort Union. In order to get this surprise, you must complete at least 5 activities.

Once you complete at least 5 activities for Digital Kids Day, you can send a photo of your completed projects, a paragraph on what you learned, or a video telling us about the projects you finished to our Facebook Messenger or email Lisa_Sanden@nps.gov. Once we get your message, we will send you a digital surprise!
