Fun Mud Day Returns to Eastern
Willimantic, CT (04/26/2017) — The preschool children of Eastern Connecticut State University's Child and Family Development Resource Center will participate in the Second Annual Fun Mud Day on May 8 from 9:30-11:30 a.m. Eastern students majoring in physical education will be offering support and motivation to the children throughout the day.
The event consists of a challenge course that is filled with obstacles children do not usually encounter during a typical physical education class. The event is not a race, but an opportunity to work together as a team, so that all participants complete the course and have fun. Fun Mud Day will take place outside in the playground area and include mud, sprinklers, slippery slopes, leaves, ice and other elements of nature designed to challenge children and make them dirty and wet. The event will take place rain or shine.
Parents and guardians are invited to attend as well to enjoy the activity with their child. They may participate as spectators and take pictures or choose to participate as a Mud Partner alongside their child. You may even see a few physical education majors completing the course as well.
Spectators are welcome and encouraged to attend. Eastern campus community members who are active or retired members of the U.S. military are especially invited, as this event is our preschool version of the "Tough Mudder" obstacle course events. "Tough Mudder" supports the "Wounded Warrior Project," whose mission is to honor and empower wounded veterans. All visitors should enter through the main CFDRC entrance and sign in at the reception desk.
