Reunions for Kids
Reunions Weekend is designed to be as family friendly as possible. While children are welcome at all events, we have planned a variety of activities specifically for children and families that will take place during the weekend.
As a service for nursing mothers, a room will be provided on Central Grounds for mothers to take a break from reunion activities in privacy. Refreshments will be provided.
A licensed day-care service will offer evening and weekend baby-sitting for infants up to 5 years of age at a site on Grounds. Drop off your kids for an evening of making art, playing with blocks or taking a nap in our quiet room. A nominal registration fee will apply.
Let your children enjoy a morning of games, sports and recreational activities while you attend events on Grounds.
The U.Va. Art Museum sponsors Kids’ College, a variety of age—appropriate activities including games and crafts for younger children and music and drawing for older kids. A nominal registration fee will apply.
Stop by Mad Bowl and enjoy the Reunions Weekend Kids’ Carnival. Your kids will have a ton of fun with moon bounces, obstacle courses, balloons, carnival foods, and more. We guarantee you and your family will have a great time.
Drop off your kids to enjoy free popcorn and a movie on Grounds. The movie will be staffed by a licensed day-care service.
We will host a seminar by an academic department in the University that will be kid-friendly. We are putting together our seminar programming, so we are not yet sure of the exact topic. Last year, faculty from the Department of Systems and Information Engineering put on “Swarming Robots Attract Swarms of Kids.” We will update you with more information when it becomes available.
Some class dinners will include activities for kids, including juggling and face-painting. Kids are, however, welcome at all class dinners. We will update you with more information when it becomes available.
We hope to see you and your whole family at Reunions Weekend this June!
