Acorn Update
FLY, 6th - 12th Graders, MEET US AT VALLEYFAIR!
When: Tuesday, August 15, 9:30am to 4:00pm
Please purchase your own ticket in advance. We will meet outside, to the right of the entrance (near the will call ticket windows) at 9:30am, and will meet again at 3:50 at the large dog bowl to exit the park together.
Valleyfair has a new chaperone policy this year that requires anyone age 15 and under to be accompanied by an adult in order to remain in the park past 4:00pm. If you plan to stay past 4:00pm, please arrange for a chaperone to meet you.
Valleyfair is a cashless park, so please plan accordingly. Waterbottles are allowed, as well as a backpack for swim items, etc.
3 chaperones from Farmington Lutheran will be wandering the park for the entirety of the event. Youth are welcome to hang out/walk around with FLC chaperones in the park if they'd like. Any other chaperones who are interested in joining, please meet us there!
