Conference Children's Program

WISE TRADITIONS 2009
CONFERENCE CHILDREN’S PROGRAM

The Wise Traditions Conference is pleased to provide a children’s program for this year’s meeting. The cost is $100 per child for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and includes a nutritious lunch. Children ages 3 – 12 who are potty trained are welcome to Wise Traditions 2009 as long as they are enrolled in our children’s program. For the sake of other conference attendees, we ask that parents refrain from bringing children to the conference sessions.

Please note: We will serve nourishing traditional food (including fruit and natural sweeteners) but we cannot cater to special diets in the children’s program. There may be casein and gluten in the children’s lunches and snacks. Parents will need to supply their own food if their children are on special diets.

NEW THIS YEAR FOR INFANTS: A special room has been set aside for mothers of infants who want to attend the conference. There will be a live audio feed from one of the sessions to that room throughout the day’s events. There will be no child care provided for infants and children under age 3.

BABY SITTER NEEDED: We have had a couple of requests for private baby sitters. If one of your family members (such as a teenage daughter) would like to earn some money at the conference baby sitting, please contact Misty at 340-724-3006.

We are sure the children will enjoy the following activities:
