We're bringing the fun this fall and winter!
PUMPKIN SMASH
Bring your carved and painted pumpkins out for 3rd Annual Pumpkin Smash! What is more fun than taking a bat and hitting a jack-o-lantern? The best part is that all pumpkins make their way to a composting site instead of a landfill. Pumpkins must be carved and hollow.
NO SCHOOL-THANKSGIVING BREAK
In this two-day program at the Frontier Fieldhouse we will spend the morning playing games like giant kickball, Craters and Volcanoes, and more. We will make our own pizzas for lunch. We will also create things like 'screaming balloons', secret codes, slime, and other fun things! Then we will make our own desserts! Register early! Ages 5-12 years. $50R/$55NR.
