It will feature inflatables, an obstacle course, face painting, decorating the club’s community garden and special kid-focused programs with a focus on healthy habits and fun.
The event will feature the “Museum Without Walls” from the North Country Children’s Museum, for groups of kids every half-hour from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Kids from preschool to middle school and their caregivers can partake in special workshops featuring a variety of arts and science programs.
There will also be programs that help to encourage good nutrition, regular physical activity and improve overall well-being.
There will be healthy summer snacks for a nominal fee.
B&D Entertainment will have their inflatables ready for kids to enjoy until 3 p.m.
The Temple is also setting up an obstacle course for kids.
Kid-focused workshops will be presented throughout the event, including: “Eating for Life,” nutrition for kids by Bridgette Tempresta, SUNY Potsdam Student Intern at the Boys & Girls Club of Massena; “Snack Down: It’s a Choice,” presented by BGCM Director Debra Donatto; “Amazingly Awesome Organics” with Charlene Dumas; and, Happy Smiles with Healthy Teeth, presented by Cheryl Gardner and the staff of the Carl Scruggs dental office.
Those with a kid-focused program they would like offer at no charge on Kids’ Day should call Donatto at 250-7806 by July 31.
Part of the event will be a live radio remote with radio personality Sandy Cook, an honorary chairperson for the Boys & Girls Club of Massena’s “Our Kids, Our Community” campaign committee.
