The recently opened 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach launched its kids’ program, Seedlings, with Rock Basecamp. It was a fun-filled, kids-only event hosted by Lucas Bacardi Shriftman and Joey Shriver in partnership with the Patricia Phillip Frost Museum of Science and Best Buddies on August 29th. 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach made a donation to Best Buddies Florida in the names of all guests who attended the event.
The event took place at the hotel’s main pool where kids enjoyed animal experiences, seed planting, rock climbing, face painting exploration of spectrum tubes (brought by Frost Science), cookie decorating, and marshmallow making. 1 hotel’s executive chef, Chef Fernando Cruz, prepared delectable light bites, such as mini chicken quesadillas, mac n cheese lollipops, and rice krispy and fruit skewers. In addition to the fresh carrot juice and snow cone, there was also a baby vegetable crudite garden, which completed the ultimate kids paradise.
Seedlings offers kids a camp-like getaway during their vacation and is available for kids 4 to 12 years old. It’s a 1 of a kind experience focused on bringing kids closer to nature and a whole lot of fun. Activities include nature walks, creating bird seed feeders, seashell art, fun in the sun competitions such as tug of war, and opportunities to participate in cooking classes, planting seeds and “drive-in” movie nights in DIY nature based vehicles made of recycled boxes.
The program has full day and half day sessions and offers lunch with a great selection of gluten-free items to please all taste buds and dietary restrictions. 1 Hotel South Beach is the flagship location for the program and the only 1 Hotel with an indoor Basecamp. Seedlings is also available at the newly opened 1 Hotel Central Park.
