In Person: Protecting the Planet: World Oceans Day

Come hang out and learn cool ways to help save our oceans while making a difference in nature!

Who this In Person Event is for:

Ages 2-12. Adult caregivers are required to accompany child participants. Siblings of participants outside this age range are welcome but may find the event to be less meaningful and fulfilling.

What you’ll be doing: Join us with a highly regarded naturalist from The City of Columbus Recreation and Parks Department to celebrate and learn about the Earth’s oceans. Participants will learn about pollution, how to be problem solvers to prevent waterway litter, and more. Then they will get their hands busy by cleaning local waterways, cleaning up litter and supporting with other tasks that support our parks thrive.

Specific Instructions:

All supplies will be provided for the program; however, these are important notes to set your family up for success. Participants should wear closed-toed shoes, long pants, and clothes that can get messy. Please bring a water bottle and sunscreen for protection on sunny days. We also encourage you to bring bug spray. Please note that we will be walking in local waterways, and we highly recommend rain boots or waterproof footwear. A change of clothes is recommended.

Why you'll be asked to donate: 

Every time we're able to design, coordinate, and offer an opportunity for kids to give back, it's with the help of supporters like you. Please consider making a generous gift to help us continue to empower kids to create a kinder community with their hearts, hands, and minds.
