Feeling trapped in your house can make anyone go a little stir crazy, but avoid the urge to switch on the television to pass the time.

Pretty soon you will realize that you have always had everything you needed right there in your cabin.

It’s a weekday afternoon at the Camarillo Boys & Girls Club and about a dozen children ages 5 to 8 enter the computer room. Each puts on headphones, straps a round plastic button to one hand and starts clapping.
