“Kite Day”
Kite Day Volunteer Opportunities
The EWCCC Kite Day is Saturday, May 25
2 pm to 5 pm
The event takes place on Main Beach, just east of the Main Beach Pavilion.
The event is open to all kids.
Participants will sign in, purchase a kite ($10) and go fly it!
(Accommodation will be made for those kids for whom payment is a problem)
Volunteers will be on hand to help kids who do not know how to fly a kite.
St. Luke’s has offered to provide volunteers for this fun day.
EWCCC staff will be available to “show you what to do.”
Volunteers are needed as follows:
- Kite assembly – Wednesday and Thursday preceding.
- Volunteers will go to the EWCCC to pre-assemble kites for the Saturday event.
- Volunteers must sign up for this (security) but can then go whenever is convenient for them on one of those two days.
- Set-up – day of event (1pm)
- Volunteers will help set up tables and otherwise help set up.
- This will involve some lifting tables and other things of some weight.
- Crowd control – day-of-event (1:30 pm – 3 pm)
- Volunteers will guide participants from the parking area to the event.
- Parking will be provided near the Pavilion area and participants will walk to the beach area.

- Sign-in and kite distribution – day of event (1:30 – 2:30)
