Keweenaw Family Resource Center (KFRC) is working to establish a Winter Park Indoor Playspace and Exploration Center now officially titled "The Tree House". The project goal is to design and construct an indoor playground for children aged 0-5 that provides opportunities for sensorimotor development, as well as combats common childhood disorders associated with a sedentary lifestyle. To facilitate interactions between parents and children, and to foster fun, imaginative play. KFRC is working with Finlandia University design students to create a non-toxic, sustainable, and innovative indoor environment.
