March 13, 2020 By Nicole Weaver

Corporate Kids Events, a Nationwide and International company that does conference childcare, teamed up with Kiewit, one of the largest engineering and construction organizations in North America in December in Ranchos Palos Verdes, California for their Public Works Conferences for employees. Corporate Kids Events has done numerous events for Kiewit over the years. This past year we are hosted Kiewit events in Fort Worth, Denver, Aurora, Irving, Dallas and more.

Kiewit is a 130-year old company originally started by 2 brothers. Kiewit’s work includes, ‘building roads that connect the world, digging canals to thirsty lands, and bored tunnels through mountains (Kiewit.org, 2019). The Public Works Conferences included several events in the month of December in various cities in North America. Some of these conferences were multiple days, such as in Ranchos Palos Verdes.

Corporate Kids Events gave the opportunity for families to bring their children with them to this 2-day conference childcare event and enjoy their own side special kids camp with the a Holiday theme while the parents learned more about Kiewit programs and processes. The kids also had a special visit from a wildlife rescue organization, which they really loved. Several activities were also prepared including karoke, holiday crafts and cookie decorating and a scavenger hunt.

Corporate Kids hosted 21 children for this 2-day kids camp, managed by our own Lucy Leon, one of our Senior Program Managers. “My favorite part of the event was watching the karoke, one of the kids did a full on song and dance production- and we were all very impressed with how they really got into the activity,” reports Lucy.

The surprise visit from a local Wildlife Rescue Organization brought 2 birds of prey for the children to see up close, learn about and event touch! “The bird show was awesome!” said Lucy. The kids and staff were able to touch an owl and a hawk that had been injured and rehabilitated at the center. The birds could not be released back into the wild due to their injuries, so they now accompany the organization on educational outings and outreach. It was a great opportunity for these kids to learn about these animals up close and personal to build respect for animals and for the habitat in which they live.

The Scavenger hunt, always a favorite, focused on team building and teaches the kids about socialization and communication skills. They are required to find items around the hotel on the list as a team and

Another activity was teaching the kids how to deal with Bullies. The focus was on overcoming meanness with kindness as well as helping them be aware of their words and how it can make others feel. This activity included role-playing and demonstrations by our staff. It was informative and fun!

Scout, one of the campers mentioned “My favorite part of the conference was that I got to hang out with my friends while learning at the same time, so it made it like a fun learning environment.”

This NHF Inhibitor event in Indianapolis, Indiana was located at the Hyatt Regency Indianapolis with 45 child attendees. You can learn more about the National Hemophilia Foundation by visiting their website (www.hemophilia.org).

Juvenile Arthritis Kids Camp in Minneapolis with Corporate Kids Events

November 5, 2019 By Nicole Weaver

Corporate Kids Events, a Nationwide and International company that does conference childcare, teamed up with the Juvenile Arthritis Foundation an organization, in Minneapolis, Minnesota on August 1^st-4^th 2019, for their popular JA Summer Conference. Corporate Kids Events hosts events for the JA Foundation every year for several years now. This year we hosted JA Programs in Minneapolis, Anaheim, Boston, Indianapolis and Houston.

The Juvenile Arthritis Foundation (JA), “leads the way in providing support to children with juvenile arthritis and their families through funding research, advocating for kids, creating awareness, providing education and hosting events.” The JA Summer Conference in Minneapolis was three full days of educational sessions led by experts in the rheumatology, healthcare and other related fields. These meetings present a unique opportunity for learning, sharing and networking and are helpful to those with juvenile arthritis and their families.

Corporate Kids Events gave the opportunity for families to bring their children with them to this 3-day conference childcare event and enjoy their own side special kids camp with the theme of Superheros™ while the parents learned more about juvenile arthritis. The kids also had several educational sessions from the JA Foundation staff about living with arthritis and understanding what it means to have arthritis.

We prepared several activities for the kids including a Teen Scavenger Hunt, Taking your Panda Bear to it’s appointment to reduce their own fear of Doctors and several arts and craft projects, which the kids always really enjoy!

Corporate Kids hosted 313 children for this 3-day kids camp, managed by our team of 8 Program Managers and lead by our own Stacey Woodzel, “My favorite part of the event was watching the first time families and children meet new friends they can relate to,” reports Stacey.

Having a chronic illness and going to the Doctors can be scary, so JA had an activity to take your Panda to the Doctor. This was a way for kids to have less fear of the medical system and be there to listen to what the “Doctor” was telling their Panda. This helped with their learning and understanding of JA, as well as knowing Doctors are there to help them.

Another activity favorite was the teen scavenger hunt. The teens had a blast exploring the hotel to check of the items on their lists. Scavenger hunts allow kids to practice problem solving in a tangible way. In addition, the teens got some exercise because they incorporated clues to get them moving. Having the teens in small groups also helps build teamwork, they have to work together to solve clues and arrive at the final destination.

Hayden’s Mom, Hayden was one of the younger campers, mentioned, “This has been his favorite camp so far and he has attended 4 of them. He really connected with the staff.”

This JA Summer Conference was held in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was located at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis with 313 child attendees. You can learn more about the Juvenile Arthritis Foundation by visiting their website (www.arthritis.org).

We look forward to hosting many more events with JA in the future! Thank you for your trust in Corporate Kids Events!

Playing music is great for any child to teach them rhythm, brain development, memory and helps them learn the sounds and meanings of words. Dancing to music helps children build motor skills while allowing them to practice self-expression. “My favorite part was when we all played music, the whole room seemed to come alive and kids of all abilities had a fantastic time!” adds Lucy.

“The board games and cards were a bit hit!” said Lucy. Board games play a big role in children’s brain development and growth. Kids playing board games helps them to gain logical and reasoning skills, boost critical thinking and communication…its also really fun.

The arts and crafts activities were also very well enjoyed by the kids. “The kids really loved all the coloring and gluing,” Lucy adds. Art is a non-judgemental form of human expression and also boosts creativity. The kids loved creating art projects with their peers and our staff at this conference childcare event.

Many of the specially trained staff were extremely excited to work with the special needs LGS Kids. Everyone learned quite a lot, the kids had a fantastic time and everyone was very well cared for.

Established in 1948, the National Hemophilia Foundation has chapters throughout the country. The Education weekend on April 27th, 2019, brought together families from all over Nebraska for a weekend of education and fun. Attendees spent time visiting the exhibit booths and selected from a wide variety of education sessions.

It also with the development of motor skills, language skills, social skills, decision-making, risk-taking, and inventiveness.

The event also included many activities such as duck-duck-goose, twister and learning about blood diseases from the Nebraska Hemophilia. A few of these kids have Hemophilia, and a few all related to someone who does, so it is informative to learn about this illness and how to care for someone with the condition.

The kids especially enjoyed the CKE art theme, “I liked all the art, “ reports a 4-year old. “ I liked how we got to play extra games and make masks,” reports one of the 8-year olds.

Sue, one of the event vendors commented, “I have done activities in the kids room for both CO and NE Hemophilia events and the staff in both locations have been excellent in helping each child feel welcome, along with myself. I appreciate their willingness and professionalism, everything was just great!”
