CHILDREN'S PROGRAMMING

On Saturday of reunion weekend, alumni and their children are invited to run wild in the Kids' Zone, located in Krzyzewskiville near Cameron Indoor Stadium. Kids will have a blast bouncing on the Blue Devil Bouncer, running through the inflatable Obstacle Course, or testing their skills in the Multi-sport Challenge. Children of alumni are also invited to participate in a soccer clinic, a basketball clinic, and/or an all-day sports camp (see below for details). A Kid's Quad will be open from on Friday and Saturday. Parents can hang out and play with their children with the games, toys, and crafts provided, or may leave their children with on-site professional childcare providers from Triangle Nanny Service for a limited amount of time (this service is available on a first-come first-served basis, and is free of charge).
