(You do not have to participate in the Zoo World Patch for this outing. *RSVP by July 24th if not earning a patch)

Each CSAGC Family will also have the opportunity to help their child/children earn a Zoo World Patch. We are starting with the first zoo program which is the Petkeeper-Zookeeper-Earthkeeper program geared towards ages 6-9. This program helps children understand why people keep animals, which animals make good pets, what resources animals need to live, and how zoos care for them. This program includes free admission to the Children's Zoo for all registered participants.

There are three parts to the patch: Pre-visit, Zoo-Visit, and Post-Visit. Each part may require up to an hour and a half to complete. The activities are self guided. CSAGC must purchase the guidebooks and patches ahead of time. Therefore, the Registration Deadline for the Zoo World Patch is June 22. *RSVP info below

Ravinia, Highland Park (*RSVP by July 31)

This is a special Family performance. Lawn tickets are free for children 5 and under and half price for children 6-10. There is a Family Space on the north lawn that has music-themed stories, crafts and an "instrument petting zoo" where young people can try out the musical instruments they will see on stage. The performance is "Best of Broadway" by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Gates open at 3pm; performance starts at 5pm.

The GFG will have space saved on the north lawn or near the north lawn. Look for a brown tarp, blue and silver balloons, and a neon pink sign with GFG on it! I will have my cell phone on, so if anybody cannot find us call, and I will guide you! (847-302-1511). Please bring a dessert to share at our dessert table - don't forget the recipe/ingredients too! As always, no peanuts please!
