Hagley’s Creek Kids
Month Held: Two days per month in June, July, and August
Sponsorship: $1,500
($2,000 to include Invention Convention)
Description: Hagley’s Creek Kids Youth Leadership Program
is a hands-on history program based on the lives of children of
nineteenth-century powder workers that brings history to life
for our visitors. More than 2,100 visitors attended Creek Kids
in 2008.
Creek Kids offers our visitors hands-on experiences
including quilting, weaving, toy making, butter churning,
fishing, gardening and more. Visitors can create make-andtake
crafts, watch nineteenth-century baseball, write with
quill pens, make ice cream, and sail homemade wooden boats
in the millrace.
Creek Kids provides a dynamic training program for youth
volunteers ages 16 to 19. These teenagers learn and practice
public speaking and leadership skills in addition to developing
the hands-on skills needed to demonstrate sewing, toy
making, cooking, and gardening. While they make it look fun
(which it is!), they are also gaining valuable life skills.
Sponsor Receives: Six months of community
visibility with name on our event programs, publicity,
and annual report. In addition, you receive fifty
passes valid for any of the six Creek Kids events.
