We ask that participants remain with the group to which they have been assigned and rotate with that group throughout the day.

Goat Field Day Program for Youth (K - 12): The Goat Field Day for Youth allows youth to explore and enjoy "old-fashioned activities" while their parent(s) participate in the Goat Field Day Program. With all of today's technological gizmos, most miss exposure to the old-fashioned games and activities that shaped their parents' and grandparents' imaginations and innate creativity. The Goat Field Day for Youth aims to challenge and enhance cognitive and social skills. Developing intellectual and socialization practices are prerequisites for helping children learn complex concepts improving their capabilities. Lunch will be provided free of charge for the youth.
