Eclipse Day at the J!
*The event has already taken place on this date: Mon, 04/08/2024
The JCC's "backyard" is THE perfect place to be for eclipse-viewing on Monday, April 8 - check out the solar-filtered telescope and get your free eclipse glasses! Join us for a SILENT DISCO moon dance party from 1 to 3pm, plus plenty of fantastic crafts and treats! Free to JCC members, guest passes available for non-members.
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
The JCC is perfectly situated in the "path of totality," meaning that our backyard – on the tennis courts facing the canal – is an especially excellent viewing location (you may want to bring a lawn chair). Fun family-type activities happening in the building:
We'll hand out free eclipse-viewing glasses on the path going toward the tennis courts beginning at 2:45pm and we'll have a solar-filtered telescope outdoors as well!
