America Offline: Unplugging Teens from Tech
Donation protected
^WATCH OUR VIDEO TO LEARN ABOUT AMERICA OFFLINE^
While technology is advancing our lives, it’s also hurting our productivity, mental health and relationships. 54% of teens self report they’re on their phone too much with the average teen consuming 9 hours of media per day; often more time than they spend sleeping. *
Everywhere we look it seems like people are glued to their screens. With the average smartphone user tapping and swiping 2,617 times/day, studies have demonstrated that increased screen time can cause sleep deprivation, social problems, decreased productivity and contributes to feelings of loneliness and anxiety.**
Introducing GameChangers! The two day offline experience where teens discover how to create tech-life balance to improve their lives and succeed in the real world. Through days of fun competition, insightful conversations, and tech wellness coaching, we let them see how amazing it feels to simply live in the moment and interact with friends – instead of silently sharing it with them.
From learning social skills that help them make new friends, to using tech to boost productivity, teens will not only improve their social skills but develop traits top universities and colleges look for in prospective students. This event is a total gamechanger!
As part of our launch we are offering our GameChangers experience for $300 OFF! (regular price is $900) Make sure you checkout the video above to see our GameChanger teens in action!
Our mission to reconnect America through offline experiences; and we are not stopping with just teens! Our new adult experience, ReCharge, provides adults with an opportunity to escape from technology, get out in nature and tap into their personal wellbeing. Taking place in Santa Cruz, CA at Little Basin Campground, our relaxed itinerary of mindfulness based experiences will send you home refreshed and recharged!
Addressing the habits of the entire family is vital for lasting behavior change. Families know tech over use is a problem but are searching for a practical gameplan to ease tensions around tech at home.
With your pre-purchases you can help us bring our GameChangers Plus web app to market and provide families with a customizable offline habit builder to improve offline connection in the home!
