Frequently Asked Questions
What’s included?
Each kid registered will receive their own awesome t-shirt, dinner, snacks, goodies and prizes each night.
What does a typical day look like?
At the start of the night* kids will gather in a large group for some songs, a short skit, contests, and prizes. From there, kids are broken into color-coded age groups (4/5, 6/7, 8/9, and 10/11, respectively) and rotate through four different “stations.” The stations are as follows:
a. games
b. crafts
c. dinner
d. story time
At the conclusion of the night, the kids all come back together for a final time of singing and skits before being dismissed to their parents.
*TUESDAY NIGHT is different in that we will all eat TOGETHER, before rotating into our stations with our age groups. FRIDAY NIGHT is different in that we invite the entire family to come and enjoy dinner together with us and enjoy a variety of games, prizes, snacks, a bounce house, and fun for the whole family.
What if it rains?
In the case of rain, we’ll modify our meeting places slightly and move people indoors with social distancing.
What about food allergies?
We’re happy to accommodate any food allergies, please just note so on your REGISTRATION and we will plan accordingly.
How can you ensure my child is kept safe?
In addition to doing background checks on all of our volunteers we make sure each group has a multiple volunteers as well as each station to ensure all children are supervised and within eyesight of safe and trained volunteers.
What’s the cost? What’s the catch?
As an initiative of Engage Albany to seek the welfare of our city, it is our joy to offer this event free of charge to the residents of the greater Albany area. Our generous members and supporters make it all possible. It does make planning a whole lot easier though if you REGISTER by July 12th.
