To allow our youngest participants the opportunity to do something developmentally appropriate during the festival, we have devised Children's Activities which has been very successful and fun. We have two people hired to manage these activities on Saturday from 9am-11:30am and 12:45pm- 5:30pm. This year we will also have 2 adults designated as the "playground supervisor" for Sunday morning.
Sammie Peterson will be leading the naturalist activities and Jacquelyn Nolt will be leading non-structured activities.
Children are required to be under adult supervision at all times and must be "checked in" with the children's instructors or with a parent during the event. There will be both structured and unstructured activities for the children to participate in.
Two very important ground rules for the children include:
1. No standing or jumping from swings
2. No climbing in the ball funnel at Badger Camp
These rules should be reviewed with your children prior to attending the festival.
