Help your young athletes get ready for an unforgettable day of ancient Greek games and celebration!
Every athlete is invited to arrive ready to represent their chosen City-State in our opening procession.
Create a simple child-designed flag or banner:
Wear best simple Olympian attire. Our favorite tradition is a pillowcase tunic worn over athletic clothing, decorated with one small symbol of their City-State.
Suggested decorations:
Keep it simple, child-made, and ceremonial. Athletic shoes recommended!
In the spirit of Ancient Greece, athletes are invited to bring a short original poem or Greek-inspired artwork to display in our Cultural Gallery throughout the festival.
Ideas for inspiration:
We invite every athlete to arrive prepared not only in body, but in spirit: ready for courage, beauty in movement, noble sportsmanship, and flourishing together.
Every athlete will be celebrated! All participants will receive recognition during our awards ceremony.
Let your children experience movement, beauty, mythology, food, and celebration in the woods as Olympia in Bloom comes to life this spring.
