Socializing:
Join your fellow MaxFunsters for a welcome reception Friday afternoon, with beer, wine, soft drinks and special punch prepared by Dr. Cocktail. Saturday night, frolic, dance and enjoy beer, wine, soft drinks and five historical cocktails hand-selected by the good doctor.
Educational:
You could spend all your time swimming or playing volleyball, but why not learn to be more awesome instead? Authors, thinkers and doers will help you learn stuff to impress your friends and win smartness contests. Also, how to make marshmallows.
