Mindr Global Food Event for Families (all ages welcome)

 

FiDi Families are invited to join us on June 19th for a fun event for the entire family with Mindr Global. Bring the littles and join us at Ribalta Pizza in Union Square for a conversation with the World Food Programme, Chef Cozzolino and other special guests about we can ensure no child goes hungry. Did you know that even though we produce enough food to feed every person on the planet, more than 3 million children die each year of under-nutrition? It’s a #RecipeForDisaster, but one we can solve.  Join us for an inspiring panel discussion, dine on Chef Cozzolino’s special zero-waste pizza, and learn how each of us can be a changemaker. 

In the lead-up to the event, we invite you to share your own #RecipeForDisaster. Here’s how:

  1. Open your fridge
  2. Find an item you might have thrown away
  3. Turn it into something delicious
  4. Share the recipe on Instagram using #RecipeForDisaster, tagging @mindrnyc and @wfpusa, and nominate two friends to participate

Date: Thursday, June 19th

Time: 4 pm – 5:30 pm

Location: 48 E. 12th Street

Ages: All ages welcome

Cost: $20

Family Camp on the lake at Club Getaway - Registration is now OPEN!
PARTNER

 

 

Start planning your trip to Family Camp at Club Getaway – 2018 Dates Released!

 
Get out and play with your kids (and a little without them!) The Club Getaway Family Camps are created for the entire family to enjoy time together AND time apart. Kids get the sense that they are independent and are encouraged to enjoy time with their peers and the grownups get to enjoy activities that range from hiking, biking, painting, and wine-tasting, to swimming, sailing, and napping on the veranda. There is something for everyone and kids are paired with same-aged kids for the weekend or week. 
 
Getaway Family Weekends and Midweeks are where families stay together in private (air-conditioned bunks) and have the chance to do activities together and explore camp on their own. Your kids can spend the day at the supervised Kids Club and Teen Club while you enjoy over 40+ activities: water-sports, relaxing by the lake, hiking, yoga, cooking classes, ropes course, zip line, mountain biking, BBQs and more! Kids are able to be in the kid’s program but also have the option of hanging out with Mom and Dad or Grandma and Grandpa. The entire family is invited to enjoy this great camp. 
 
At night enjoy magic shows, carnival, dance party and plenty of family entertainment from parent/kid game shows and karaoke to wacky family Olympics and of course – what’s camp without a campfire and s’mores?
 
Things to Know:
  • Family camp pricing includes: Housing, All Meals, Entertainment and Activities.
  • The camp is a 2-hour drive by car or Metro North train* ride from NYC Grand Central Station. *Club Getaway provides complimentary transportation from the train station in Connecticut. 
  • Extended family is invited so invite the grandparents, aunts, and uncles, etc. It’s a family affair!
