What to Expect
Get ready for a day that feels like summer turned all the way up. From the moment you arrive, the energy is contagious. Kids racing down a 100-foot water slide, families laughing over free food and treats, music in the air, and activities around every corner. This isn’t just something to do… it’s something to experience together.
BUT, this isn’t just a day of fun It’s a full-on experience where curiosity comes alive and foster kids from all over Hampton Roads get to try things they may never have imagined.
Fishing from the pier (poles and bait provided)
Vocational skill instruction with hands-on learning
Science Lab experiences and experiments
Agricultural expos with interactive exhibits
Horses and livestock up close
Build and launch rockets
Fossil dig adventures
First aid instruction and life skills
LEGO robotics and creative builds
Yard games and outdoor fun
Every activity is designed to spark imagination, build confidence, and create moments that stick long after the day is over.
…and the best part?
You’re surrounded by a community that shows up in a big way. Last year alone, over 200 kids and 500 adults came out to be part of it, supported by dozens of local partners who believe in making this day unforgettable for every foster and kinship family.
This Isn’t Just an Event. It’s a Day That Changes Everything.
For foster and kinship families, life doesn’t always come with easy days. This one does.
Every year, local businesses, volunteers, and neighbors come together to create something rare… A completely free day filled with food, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
From the 100-foot water slide to hands-on activities for all ages, this is a day designed to say:
“You matter. You are seen. You are celebrated.”
