RiverWinds has another fun week of Summer

RiverWinds had a very busy week this past week. June 18^th was filled with creativity: both kids and adults engaged their artistic sides with Duct Tape Art and the Flip Flop Wreath Workshop, respectively. There were many colorful creations of different varieties. The kids who attended the Duct Tape Art made wallets, bouquets of flowers, and phone cases, while the adults walked out with their extravagant flip flop wreaths. 

Two days later, RiverWinds hosted the 14^th annual Project Graduation for West Deptford High School’s class of 2013. The new alumni enjoyed donated food, moon bounces in the gyms and a hypnotist! The celebration wrapped up with a Chinese auction of donated items, everything from gift cards to a flat screen TV were won by many lucky individuals! RiverWinds is proud of the class of 2013 and was more than happy to host Project Graduation yet again.

To wrap up this busy week the RiverWinds StreetFEST Concert Series took place on Friday, June 21^st with the Sensational Soul Cruisers. It was another beautiful night with great music and food. If you were unable to make it don’t worry! Next Week’s Concert will feature 2U and Almost Journey!

The Sixth Annual Hermit Crab Races Were a Success

On Wednesday, June 12^th, RiverWinds once again hosted the popular Hermit Crab Race! The kids ran to get a good spot in line to pick their favorite hermit crab. It was an exciting atmosphere with great sportsmanship as the kids cheered on their little hermit crabs to race to the finish line. There were three different squares and the winner from each square then raced each other for the grand prize of a signed Phillies bag by Ryan Howard, a hermit crab cage with accessories,and Disney DVD The Road to El Dorado.

There were many close races, especially in the final race! All three hermit crabs made their way to the finish line, and the kids - and even the parents! - were getting excited to see who would win. The race was neck and neck between the winner from Squares Two and Three. One last burst of energy determined the winner, a young girl named Nora.  At the end of the Races, the kids took their turn congratulating the winner and were excited to bring home their new pets.

We’re looking forward to our next  youth program coming up, Duct Tape Art, on Tuesday, June 18^th @ 6:00 p.m.  This program is for any kid ages 6 – 11 years of age. They can make duct tape wallets, flowers, or they can get creative and come up with something on their own. There are many duct tape colors to choose from or kids may opt to just stick with classic silver. We look forward to seeing you there!
