Participants will be able to hang from the “3rd Rack” or use the “Glide Rail” slide, zones that were modeled after the LG QuadWash EasyRack™ Plus system, which adjusts to just about any load of dishes. LG will also set up cabañas where people can sit, relax and watch the water park action. Let's face it, no one gets excited about washing dishes. That's why LG is taking a boring chore and making it a fun, family experience with the LG QuadWash™ Water Park. LG QuadWash dishwashers put cleaning into motion! Designed with four spray arms that rotate back and forth, QuadWash cleans from multiple angles so you get dishes clean the first time. Learn more at LGQuadWash.com. On-site registration is required. Ticketing is offered on the hour so participants are encouraged to arrive early to secure a spot. Tickets will be provided on a first come, first served basis.

Many urban youth lack opportunities to learn about the environment and experience the natural world first-hand. A New York City child may go to the playground or learn about “nature” in museums or on television. It can be difficult to find a single patch of green, let alone the grandeur of the wilderness and the clarity and direction it gives to our lives. At Christodora, we believe an escape from the concrete is not just a privilege—it’s a transformative experience that allows youth to better understand the natural world and shape their role within it.

Mission
Transforming Lives through Environmental Education
Christodora’s goal is to build leadership skills and academic success through an awareness and understanding of the natural environment:

- in public school classrooms, where our Environmental Educators teach a customized 7-week environmental science curriculum
- in weekend urban ecology and community service programs, especially at the New York Botanical Garden
- at our 85-acre Manice Education Center in a remote corner of the Berkshire Mountains
- and with distinguished partner institutions providing opportunities for advanced study and wilderness programs Show less
