1. "Kite Days" - A presenter takes a group of approximately 75 students and informs the youth about kites: Kite history, kite safety, kite people (Ben Franklin and the Wright Brothers) and different styles of kites. This part of the program takes 1/2 hour.

We then move to tables where plastic sheets and wood dowels are laid out. The presenter takes the students through an 8-step process to build their own kite. The student is now given a 75-foot flying string and leaves to either decorate the kite or fly it. This process also takes 1/2 hour.

The program is appropriate for K-9 but grades K-2 do need parental help.

The cost is $1.75 per student in the fall, $1.65 in the winter, and $1.85 in the spring, plus $ .30 per mile from Grand Haven.


2. "Meet Orville Wright" - Our presenter, dressed like and pretending to be Orville Wright, takes the audience through the exciting lives of the Wright brothers from youth through success at Kitty Hawk. Great emphasis is placed on the sacrifice of the Wright Brothers in making their dream come true with appropriate challenges to the youth in the audience.

The program takes approximately 35 minutes plus questions. Group size can vary but we prefer less than 150 per session. It is ideal for 3rd grade through 99 years but it has been given successfully to Kindergarteners and grades 1 and 2.

The cost is $200 for 1/2 day and $250.00 for a whole day, plus mileage from Grand Haven.
