Activities for Your 3-11 year old Children on Friday
[Great News]
You are going to get a break from your kiddos (3-11 years old) on Friday so you can listen to the adult classes. Oh, don't feel guilty about this break from the little ones, because they aren't going to miss you. Why? Because they're going to be to busy having such a great time playing with their homeschool friends. Its a WIN WIN!! WOO-HOO! And the best part of all is that we're trying to make the entire Child Class Program as easy and painless as possible for everyone. So keep reading...
[We need ONE hour-ish of your time]
We have three full time volunteers that will be manning the children classes all day. We're actually working on getting even more full time helpers so less of us have to miss any part of the adult classes. Wouldn't that be great!!! However, as of right now we will probably need a little help. All we're asking is that if you're dropping kids off at the Children Classes you volunteer for one shift which equals to about one hour-ish of time. Not too bad...you get five hours of kid free time in return for only ONE hour-ish of volunteer time!!
[What now?]
Just look over the child classes being offered below! When you check-in for The Retreat your kids can sign up for their classes, and we'll have a sign up sheet for parent volunteers showing the shifts we still need covered.
