Are you a parent? Do you worry about where your kids are spending their free time? My birthday adventure took me to a local hotspot that might be the solution you are looking for. The 3 Mile Project is an activity center set up with them in mind. This facility holds open activity nights each Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. Thursday is for 5-6 graders. Friday is for 7-8 graders. Saturday is for high schoolers. The kids pay $5.00 to enter and they are able to participate in all activities for three hours. They have a skate park, re-ball course (kind of like paintball with rubber pellets instead of paint), basketball courts, volleyball, movie rooms, video games, arts and crafts, dance floor, and gaga ball pit. There are also dodgeball games at the end of the night. This was built as a safe place for kids to go, have a great time with their friends and make new friends. My job was to greet the kids as they came in for the night. Once all the kids had been checked in, the fun began. I got to walk around throughout the night and just keep an eye out for any issues and see these kids having a blast with each other. Over 200 kids took part in the fun the night I helped out. As you can imagine, there is always need for volunteers. You can volunteer if you are a highschooler, a college kid, or even an adult :) If you want to lend a hand please contact them at http://www.3mp.org
