We’ll guide 10 family groups through a step by step project, while being properly distanced, outdoors, and providing individual tool kits to eliminate shared materials. A great way to customize your family visit to Annmarie!
    Family groups can choose to work on one project together or purchase additional project kits so everyone works on their own. An adult must participate with children.
    Limit 10 families. Pack a picnic and stay and play afterwards!
