Although kids can't look forward to roasting marshmallows or fun activities at summer camp, Walmart is partnering with CAMP and a group of celebrities to bring entertainment right into family homes with Camp by Walmart. Powered by the interactive video platform eko, Camp by Walmart introduces Drew Barrymore, Neil Patrick Harris, LeBron James and more as camp counselors who will lead kids through a day of activities. Kids will be able to enjoy all of their favorite summer camp activities from home, including everything from arts and crafts to fitness.
On the Walmart app, 50 Camp by Walmart activities are being offered for free, including The Great Family Challenge, which encourages family bonding and the Skills Camp talent show hosted by Idina Menzel.
