Some of these events include the Old Fort Jackson Overnight Camp, Night at the Museum, and Santa Train. In addition to these events, we also have regularly scheduled activities for children. Family Happenings Family Happenings occur on Saturdays, usually once per month, usually on the 2nd Saturday of the month. Each months activities have a theme that stories, crafts, and activities are based on. These events provide parents and children with the opportunity to play together and learn more about the topic for the day. Some past events have included Easter egg hunts, pumpkin painting along with trick-or-treating, and ornament and snowflake decorating for the holiday season. Story Time Story Time occurs once a month, usually on the 2nd Wednesday of the month in the Kids Zone Baggage Car for children, ages 2-5. Each Story Time has a theme and we share several stories related to that theme and participate in an age related craft. Reading Express The Reading Express is a special Family Happenings event usually held late summer where children, along with their parents, enjoy stories while on a train ride. Families can also receive an email newsletter that will keep them updated on family friendly events at our sites. To be included, parents send your name, your childs name and age, and your email address to childrensevents@chsgeorgia.org.
