Do You Want to Have Fun and Meet New Friends? Come Socialize! — and enjoy Andy’s Ice Cream with your Socialize! friends.

Socialize! Kids offers an exciting opportunity for children ages 5–11 to build confidence while engaging in fun, inclusive social activities. This group is designed to help kids connect with others, practice friendship skills, and feel more comfortable interacting with peers in a positive and supportive environment.

Participants will enjoy a variety of community outings and fun activities, including trips to Andy’s Frozen Custard, games, group play, and other kid-friendly adventures. Along the way, children will naturally practice important social skills such as taking turns, starting conversations, working together, and building friendships.

Our goal is to create a welcoming space where kids can have fun, feel included, and grow socially while being supported by caring adults. Whether your child is naturally outgoing or a little shy in new situations, there is a place for them here.

Socialize! Kids helps children gain confidence, develop friendships, and learn how to connect with others — all while having a great time.

So what are you waiting for?

Come Socialize! with us — let’s make memories, enjoy some Andy’s, and meet new friends. 🍦
