We honored National Girls and Women in Sports Day this past weekend by attending a free program run by the NYC Parks Department. The Chelsea Rec Center hosted the event with an all day program with yoga, fishing and birding, wrestling, kayaking, lacrosse, volleyball, and more!
It was open to both boys and girls, had healthy snacks, free t-shirts, and giveaways. My kids had a blast trying the sports. I was shocked that my daughter enjoyed the wrestling. It turns out there are ten girl's wrestling programs in NYC public high schools. We've come a long way baby.
My son most loved the birding class. NYC Park Rangers taught about bird habitats, bought birds nests, fake eggs, and binoculars for the kids to use.
The kids and I were really surprised how much fun we had. LOL. Next year we'll be sure to bring swimsuits so they can learn how to kayak.
Birding.
Wrestling.
The packed schedule.
