Our activity page is designed for ages 3 years to adult. There are 24 different items you can choose to do to complete your page. Each member of the family can fill out their own activity sheet.
Please call in to register. (614) 837-4765
To qualify for our end of summer drawing you must complete 12 of the 24 activities. This sheet must be turned in by August 1st.
