Come join us for the first four Wednesdays in May, 3-8pm, to experience the magic of Race Brook Lodge. Each session, led by Melanie “Poppins”, will be themed around incorporating elements of nature into our weekly theme craft, and will include programming with music, movement, and storytelling. Stay for dinner with special deals for Kids Club families, and each evening ends with clay exploration and a campfire! All ages welcome, and parent participation is encouraged. Or drop your kids off and grab a table for date night at the Stagecoach Tavern, find a cozy nook around the property to get some work done, or explore our on-site hiking trails!
