Children’s Farewell Party

Number of People: 4

Budget: Budget: $0 (The chairs will place your order with Conference Services)

The Children's Grand March will lead children out of the Dining Hall after the Banquet. At the end of the march, take all the Terns and Gulls to Brookfield for an ice cream party. Contact Conference Services early in the week to arrange the ice cream, which will have been pre-ordered by the chairs.

In 2000, Senior Teens took care of the music. (If you want to repeat that you should check with the Teens prior to Fri. afternoon). Initiate a "mixer" activity and any games or dances that the children might enjoy. You may ask someone to lead some singing. One year a scavenger hunt was planned which was quite popular. Keep children occupied until 8:45 at which time they leave Brookfield. Give them some advance notice and send the kids off to their own rooms for a good night.

Four people is minimum for this activity -- two to organize and run, others to scoop ice cream and supervise/interact with the kids. There is a big initial rush for the ice cream!

Line up helpers to clean up afterward because the Teens Farewell party begins in Brookfield at 9:00.

HAVE FUN!!!
