Field Trips are events that take place once, maybe twice a year. They occur on various days and times and are set up through local businesses, sometimes at a discounted rate for our members. Members must sign up for the events and are expected to stay with their children at all times.
Field trips are broken up into the following categories:
Seasonal Events
Seasonal Events usually take place at the same time each year and are planned in conjunction with a holiday or season. Past activities have included Memphis Kiddie Park in August, Akron Aeros game during the summer, Boyert's Hayride & Pumpkin Patch in the fall, Olympia Chocolate Tour just before Easter, All Fired Up Pottery Painting in late November, and many other events.
Theater and Ticket Events
Theater and Tickets Events include the Discovery Children's Series at Playhouse Square and several events at Quicken Loans Arena such as Disney on Ice, Cavs games, Monster games, and the Circus. We occasionally obtain Polar Express and Day Out With Thomas tickets through the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad and tickets to events at other venues.
Educational Events
Educational Events can take place at local businesses or they are planned by our own members around a specific theme such as dog safety or stranger danger. We usually attend outdoor educational programs at Wolf Creek Environmental Center twice a year and have had the Akron Zoomobile and other local veteranary businesses teach the children about animals.
Enrichment Events
Enrichment Events are those events that do not fit under any of the above categories and typically just provide fun, social interactions for the children to partake in. These activities have included family bowling nights, indoor putt-putt at Rinky Dink, and other member planned events such as Gifts to Go where children get to make 4-5 homemade gifts for their family members during the holidays, Pampered Princess events that consist of a makeover and craft activities for our little princesses, and holiday card making.
