Rolling River to Host 22nd Annual Fall Festival for Kids & Families

Fall is the perfect time of year for festive events and the Rolling River Fall Festival plans to deliver another kid-focused, outdoor extravaganza! The 22nd Annual Fall Festival will be held on Saturday, October 20 from 12:00-4:00pm (raindate Sunday, October 21) on the grounds of Rolling River Day Camp in East Rockaway. This fun-filled event celebrates fall with carnival rides, music, crafts and more. Activities are family-focused and appropriate for children ages 1-12.

The Fall Festival includes a variety of activity zones and attendees are encouraged to explore the entirety of the campgrounds. The main attraction is the “Ride Zone”. The “Ride Zone” includes bounce houses, carnival rides, facepainting, balloon animals, pony rides, a petting zoo, DJ music, gaga, beach volleyball, and mini golf. Admission into the “Ride Zone” is $15/child and children who are enrolled for Summer Camp 2019 at Rolling River receive complimentary admission.

The “Kids Zone” is a free admission area that includes fun-filled kids activities and giveaways. The “Kids Zone” features access to Tumbling Tides Gymnastics, Sand and Pebble Playgrounds, bikes and trikes, an arts and crafts station, vendor booths with giveaways, clothing sales, raffle prizes, and more.

The Festival also features a main stage for performances from local businesses as well as interactive demos. This year’s schedule includes performances from The Dance Space, School of Rock, and Grace Thunderettes as well as demos from Studio Noir and Breathe N Flow Yoga. Remember to break out your Halloween costume as the main stage will also host a special Halloween costume contest for great prizes.

Food and Refreshments will be available for purchase under the main tent. Featured items will include a BBQ cookout as well as dessert and snack options. Rolling River is excited to partner with the Doughology Food Truck to also bring delicious donut options to this year’s festival.

The Rolling River Fall Festival serves as a fundraiser for “The Campmates Program,” a camp scholarship initiative with New Horizon Counseling Center in Valley Stream. All ticket and food sales will help provide tuition-free camp scholarships to local, deserving children nominated by the counseling center. The 2018 festival is proudly sponsored by Local Luxuries, Macaroni Kid Long Beach-RVC-Oceanside, Hulafrog Town of Hempstead, Clowns.com, Painted Faces, and Long Island Parent.

The Language Workshop For Children

After offering both group and private lessons for many years and analyzing the results over&nbsp;time, The&nbsp;Language Workshop for&nbsp;Children, founded&nbsp;in1973, has decided&nbsp;to emphasize private remote lessons at shorter intervals.&nbsp;Our skilled educators&nbsp;will&nbsp;focus their attention exclusively on the&nbsp;unique needs, learning style, and interests of your child.&nbsp;This allows a&nbsp;bond&nbsp;to develop&nbsp;between teacher and student, which&nbsp;has been&nbsp;shown to&nbsp;drastically improve retention.&nbsp; OUR METHOD&nbsp; Developed by the pioneers of language education for children, our programs bring decades of&nbsp;experience to your living room with individualized, active language classes. Each lesson is based on proven methods and materials perfected to capture your&nbsp;child&rsquo;s attention during the ages when he/she absorbs information the fastest. &nbsp;&nbsp; While other online language classes rely on videos for passive learning, we deliver interactive, and engaging lessons with native-fluent teachers. In addition, all our teachers are certified in the Thibaut&nbsp;Technique which has been featured&nbsp;in the New York&nbsp;Times, the&nbsp;Wall Street Journal, and many other well-respected&nbsp;publications.&nbsp;&nbsp; Our short one-on-one lessons give kids the chance to focus, hear pronunciation clearly, and practice speaking in their target language.  THE PROCESS&nbsp; First, students have a short meeting with our Director&nbsp;Francois&nbsp;Thibaut, in&nbsp;English, with&nbsp;their parent(s)&nbsp;present.&nbsp;Mr. Thibaut&nbsp;will determine&nbsp;the best course of study, including&nbsp;class length and&nbsp;frequency, the&nbsp;right&nbsp;teacher, lesson&nbsp;format and materials (or action games for younger students.) Then the learning&nbsp;begins!&nbsp;Mr. Thibaut will continually check in on your child&rsquo;s learning to assure they are getting the most&nbsp;of&nbsp;their&nbsp;classes.&nbsp; OTHER OFFERINGS&nbsp; We can also help your child prepare for: the French subject tests for SAT, AP &amp; CLEP, the European DELF/DALF, the Canadian TEF and other standardized testing, college entry exams, studying or traveling abroad,&nbsp;cultural changes when moving abroad,&nbsp;and much more!&nbsp; &nbsp;
