ENRICHri, Pass Out Something Non Candy Trunk or Treat

Wednesday, October 18th, 4-6pm  **rain date 10/25 same time*
 
Adventure Base Camp Parking Lot - 223 Scituate Ave, Cranston
Last day to signup: Oct 13th  (so everyone has enough time to make/purchase what they are passing out)
 
Join us for a Trunk-or-Treat!  Grab your family friendly costumes, decorate your trunk (as simple or elaborate as you are comfortable), and bring a non-candy/non-food item to pass out to our trunk-or-treaters!

Make sure to bring a bucket or bag to collect treats in too for your homeschooler. 
 
Due to limited space in the lot, we ask that all families fully participate to ensure everyone has a great time --- Trunk open and decorated, everyone handing out something. Costumes encouraged, of course - for homeschoolers and parents/gaurdians.
 
For the safety of all of our members:  please arrive between 4:00-4:15 to park as directed and set up your trunk- this is the only time for set-up and it needs to be complete by 4:30pm.  

Then families can socialize and can play yard games in the parking area.  Please add a yard game if you have one to your sign up if you don't mind bringing it along. We will have an area set up for yard games. We would love to see a giant Jenga, Connect Four..

Please be respectful of the space, donated by Boy Scouts of America. Parents are responsible for their own homeschoolers. *No drop off*

After the festivities we will take a lap around to look for any trash and then be off the property by 6:00pm -- plan to stay until 6:00 (unless there is an emergency, we do not want cars driving while kids are playing.)
 
*Final homeschooler headcount will be emailed to you by 10/15. 
 
** There will be a candy table there, off to the side of the Trunk or Treat area if anyone would like to visit it.

Wildschool is a loosely structured learning environment with a focus on skills based learning, confidence building, and exploration. This engaging co-op is hosted in a beautiful hundred-acre wood, and this year is set right beside a small pond and its lively stream. Wildschool is loosely structured, with different nature based activities and crafts available each day for kids to do at their own leisure. Past activities have included fire starting, foraging, hiking, plant and animal identification, leaf printing, candle and soap making, first aid, campfire cooking, and many others.

Wildschool is NOT a drop-off event, and parents will be expected to stay near their children until they are familiar with the area.

All adults must have a BCI with ENRICHri on file before the first day of Wildschool.
