WHY DO THIS AS A PLAY DATE?
Because connection needs a place to start.
The trail hunt and food class give everyone something to do together, making first conversations easier for kids and parents.
No awkward standing around
A shared trail hunt and food activity give children and adults an easy place to begin.
Parents are part of the Social
The event includes time for caregivers to talk while children play nearby and everyone settles in at their own pace.
Familiar faces can grow
Monthly Socials give families a free, low-pressure way to reconnect instead of starting over every time.

MEET A FELLOW PARENT
Hi, I’m Jeremy—a local dad.
I’m also the founder of Fojut Ventures, where I build the infrastructure of connection: real places, shared experiences, and repeated opportunities that help people form relationships and push back against loneliness. I created Play Date to bring that work to families. Each gathering gives kids a natural way to meet other kids and gives parents space to connect, too. We’re starting one event at a time with a simple goal: turn first hellos into familiar faces and help local families build community that lasts. Questions are always welcome before you register.
We are confirming an accessible Milwaukee-area park with the right trail and food-class setup. Registered families will receive the address, meeting point, access information, and weather plan by email before the Social.
At 11:30 AM, Monica from Eat Pretty Please will lead a family food class with tastings as the featured moment of this free Social. Gather with other families to learn about food and discover flavors together. Taking part in the tastings is optional. Please arrive by 11:20 AM if your family wants to join the class.
The class topic, format, tasting ingredients, and dietary accommodations will be shared once confirmed. Please check ingredients with Monica before tasting; do not assume the food is allergen-free.
Check in whenever you arrive, pick up name tags and a trail-hunt card, and meet another family. Stay for the full Social or leave when your family is ready.
02
10:00 AM–11:30 AM · Trail hunt open
Follow the short picture-based nature trail hunt at your own pace. An optional hosted trail walk begins at 10:30 AM. Stay on marked paths and leave what you find in place.
03
11:30 AM–12:00 PM · Food class and tastings
Gather with Monica from Eat Pretty Please for the featured family food class and optional tastings. Families who want to participate should arrive by 11:20 AM. The final class topic and ingredients will be shared before the event.
04
12:00–1:00 PM · Picnic, play, and connect
Enjoy your own snacks or lunch, relaxed play, and conversation with other parents and caregivers. The trail-hunt cards remain available for later arrivals, and the Social closes at 1:00 PM. Parents and caregivers remain with their children throughout.
A few things to bring
Comfortable shoes and layers for the weather
Water, a picnic blanket, and your family's personal essentials
Your own snacks or lunch if needed; tastings are not a full meal
Check the tasting ingredients and access information before attending
Good to know
