Things to Do in Orangeville

“Work hard. Play hard. Give back,” is the motto of the Kin Club of Woolwich, a social club that aims to help members of the community connect with and support each other through events for the whole family. At the annual Family Fun Weekend, kids try for prizes in carnival games and disguise themselves as jungle animals or kitchen appliances with face painting. Families can opt to camp alongside the Grand River and its historic covered bridge, and compete in the Grand River Amazing Race. This hybrid of Amazing Race and Survivor has two- to three-person teams competing in a series of challenges that could include canoeing, hauling wood, or playing patty cake with their feet. These events, as well as raffles, with prizes such as the gift certificates from Pamper Yourself for a Year, benefit area organizations such as Women’s Crisis Services.
