True North features individual Crew Packs, packaged by day!
The new daily Imagination Station Crew Packs still supply a Crew of five kids plus a Crew Leader with the Sciency-Fun Gizmos™ they need for hands-on, faith-building wow experiments. But now you can purchase packs just for the days you need. Want all five days of fun? There's more good news! We'll have a discounted bundle that includes five days of experiments!
