Once again, the TLC Foundation/Muddy Puddles has teamed up with Kiwi Country Day Camp to host their annual "Mess Fest" along with everybody's favorite celebrity puddle jumper, Peppa Pig! The Muddy Puddles Project, a fundraising platform for TLC, is the official charity partner for Peppa Pig in the US.
The Muddy Puddles “Mess Fest” is a huge event in the tri-state area. The format for the “Mess Fest” event is widespread with various tented areas and a wide range of family-friendly activities including swimming, paddle boats, rope courses, climbing walls, ziplines, treasure hunts, pie tosses, the Slopstacle course, splatter paint, glitter crafts, food fights, a jumbo slip n' slide, raffles, bounce houses, tons of other activities and hundreds of kid-friendly prizes (and of course, don't forget the giant muddy puddles for jumping and a fire truck to hose kids off)!
DO THE DIRTY DUNK! We will award FREE ADMISSION to each participant who signs up for the Dirty Dunk. There is a minimum fundraising goal of $100 per individual (for example, if your entire family of 4 creates a team, set your goal at $400). At Mess Fest, we reserve a specific time for all participants to jump in the mud, and our professional photographers will be on hand to award you with a high-resolution photo!
