We will have video learning stations, a poster board with explanations and photos, caches hidden in the main arena, and some swag to take with you! If you are without technology, no worries!

If you are concerned about adapting to the varying needs of your child(ren), we will also provide a challenged experience and show you the accessibility options! (Presenter: Jodie Forrey)
