About Kids Dig
Clayco's Kids Dig gives patients of Lurie Children's and their siblings, the opportunity to explore, interact and operate (with assistance) a variety of heavy machinery. Participants will have the opportunity to explore moving excavators, scissor lifts, bulldozers and boom lifts in a giant sand box, as well as an assortment of interactive kid zone activities.
This one-of-a-kind event promotes healing for Chicago's children, while also sparking curiosity and wonder within the construction community.
