Watertown DI families . . . Go share your stories! I know there are some REALLY good ones 😉

Remembering those days as a Destination Imagination participant brings back so many unique memories! From hot glue gun scars to duct-taped clothes, we wore our creativity like a badge of honor. If you were a DI kid, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Long nights spent brainstorming and building, the thrill of competition day, and the lifelong friendships formed through teamwork and innovation. What’s your favorite memory or telltale sign that you were a Destination Imagination kid? Share your stories and let’s reminisce together! 🚀📚✨

Can you guess the most common reason kids don't get to experience DI?
Unfortunately, the answer is . . . No adult volunteers!
DI is literally the most fun you will ever have as a volunteer. Message us for more information OR fill out the form if you are ready for the next step!
Help us make 2024-25 the BEST season yet!
