Flexible: Any day when we have an event happening would be a wonderful intro. Thursdays in June or July would be great so the student can see our Showtime concert setup in the evenings. The first Saturday in June is our Pride party, and Fridays in August are our movies in the park; note that the August dates are late in the day.

Experience description

Our half day would include helping prepare and setup for one of our signature summer events, touring the different park facilities where we host programs, and meeting the special events team.
