This Saturday you and your kids will have two opportunities to help others and help yourselves have a good time, thanks to the National Children’s Museum’s Family Volunteer Day activities.
FVD is an annual day of service (started by the HandsOn Network) with the goal of starting kids on the room to public service.
This Saturday November 21 (and next Saturday too November 28,) come on down to the Launch Zone in National Harbor and lend a hand crafting gifts and holiday decorations to benefit sick children of The Children’s Inn at National Institutes of Health. Stay and play with all the interactive learning stations at the Launch Zone too. Times for these events are 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. at 112 Waterfront St., National Harbor, MD 20745.
Or this Saturday November 21, get those helping hands dirty and bring the kids to help clear historic National Park trails at Oxon Hill Farm. This work will help keep the trails neat and safe for all to enjoy, and children can discover plants and animals in nature along the way.
Afterwards, celebrate your hard work with wagon rides (weather permitting) and light refreshments. Times for this event is 10-11:30 a.m. at 6411 Oxon Hill Road, Oxon Hill, MD 20745.
