We try to move with the shade, but it is possible your child may be in direct sunlight at times. If you pack sunscreen and want your child to reapply at some point, let us know what time and we will remind them.
We will have natural freeze pops made with herbal tisanes and honey and will make smores over the fire on Friday, please let us know of any allergies so we can adjust for your child.
We will meet at the barn / playscapes area.
In the event of inclement weather, we will move into the retreat.
