Family Fishing Clinic
River Center | 9AM-Noon | $10 per kid | Details
Why you should go: Scenario 1 – you love fishing and want to share that joy with your kid but you aren’t a great teacher. Scenario 2 – you don’t know how to fish but think it could be fun so you sign up the kid and you get in for free!
Kid’s Fishing Program at Juno Beach Pier
Juno Beach Pier| 9-11AM |$10 per kid | Details
Why you should go: Whenever you visit the pier your kids are seriously jealous of everyone with a rod and you figure teaching them to fish is a great skill for South Florida living (and you would be right).

Why you should go: The Legend of Rock Paper Scissors is sure to entertain kids of all ages. This future classic from the author of The Day the Crayons Quit will be the featured story and subject of accompanying activities.
Holiday Farm Visit

Jupiter Farmer’s Market
El Sol | 9AM-1:30PM | Free | Details
