The NKY Camps and Activities Fest is joining The Maker Expo at the Ignite Institute this Saturday, April 30.
Both events aim to fight boredom and learning loss during summer break. The event will showcase hands-on activities for students and families, according to a press release from Ignite. There will be a chalk art challenge for high school students, a brick-build challenge for middle and elementary school students, an artist market, a career corner and food trucks.
NKY Camps and Activities Fest as part of The Maker Expo is open to the public and will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 30, at the Ignite Institute. Admission is free for children of all ages.
Julia Pile, president of ParentCamp and Boone County School Board member, explained the event is meant to create opportunities to “keep kids engaged all summer long from museums to the parks to local farms.” She said the event helps parents find “organizations together all in one place.”
