Family events in Huntington, WV

Valley Health and Enslow Park Presbyterian Church host a back-to-school kids event built around a playful space theme. Families can explore interactive stations with hands-on activities, learn about healthy habits through kid-friendly health education, and enjoy food, games, and a few surprises. Expect giveaways and school supply fun, plus a dunk tank for splashy excitement. The gathering brings the community together to connect, learn, and get ready for the new school year.

An annual backpack and school supply giveaway offers free, brand-new backpacks stocked with essentials to help elementary students start the school year ready. A total of 120 backpacks will be available. No purchase is required. Each child is limited to one backpack, and distribution will be on a first come, first served basis until all are distributed.

Centered on empowerment for women and girls, this meetup features an inclusive, multi-part session led by Lara Foster of the Green Valley Volunteer Fire Department. Participation in physical activity is optional, allowing attendees to take part in whatever way suits them. Families may bring young girls for a fun, educational and uplifting experience. Parking information will be provided later.
