YOUTH PROGRAMS — Pre-Registration Required
3,2, 1…Blast Off!
RC Trucks
Gadgets and kids have always gone hand and hand, and model rockets are no
exception. Participants build, paint and launch their own rockets under the careful
eye of our staff. Along the way they learn some basic physics, a little rocketry history and have lots of fun!
Ready, Set, GO! Join us for a racing good time outdoors taking over White Plains Skate
Park. Your child will receive their own RC Truck to test their driving skills through
our obstacle course and race other participants. The fun doesn’t stop when the
program ends; your child takes home their truck!
