Autumn War 2009

Children's Activities

 

Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Children's activities is a place to explore, have fun and learn a little, this means that this is not the place to wear good garb. Children should wear clothing that they can get dirty, messy, and sticky. They may be exposed to things that may stain clothing so please  dress accordingly.
