Join us for a festive drop-off evening filled with winter magic, creativity, and sweet fun! During our Gingerbread Jamboree, campers will spend the night building and decorating their very own gingerbread houses / gingerbread people using plenty of frosting, candy, and imagination. Staff will guide the process, but kids are encouraged to dream up their own winter wonderlands!
We’ll also enjoy:
A cozy holiday-themed snack (provided)
music and games
A warm, welcoming environment to get into the spirit of the season
A winter craft to take home if time allows
This is the perfect way for kids to embrace the joy of the holidays while parents get a relaxing evening to themselves. Expect sticky fingers, big smiles, and lots of laughter as we celebrate together at PDC’s Gingerbread Jamboree! 🎅🍬✨#dropoffevents #metrowestmoms #centralmassmoms #ashlandma
