Pirate's Booty's Captain Bob's Summer Quest with Ellie Kemper runs through summer, pushing screen-free, low-setup play as parents look to fill remaining break.
Pirate's Booty has paired Ellie Kemper with Captain Bob's Summer Quest, a summer push built around screen-free play for kids.
Kemper, in an interview with Business Insider, said she wants her own children, ages 6 and 9, off screens as much as possible this summer. Her approach is a less scheduled one, with unstructured time taking priority. The campaign's activity ideas are designed to be low-setup, letting parents step back once kids get going.
"I like giving the kids plenty of unstructured time," Kemper said. "Maybe I say that because I haven't signed them up for too many activities this summer."
Captain Bob's Summer Quest is "a collection of imaginative play ideas that are really easy to pull off," she said. "Those are the best kind of activities: ones where I can sort of set the kids up, and they can take it from there."
Kemper said her acting background helps her meet her kids in the worlds they create. "I'm grateful that play is part of my job," she said. "I get to dress up and do all these imaginative things in real life."
The campaign runs through the summer.
