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 Columbus Recreation and Parks Department to celebrate and learn about the Earth’s oceans. All around the world people are having events to acknowledge World Oceans Day and we are no different! 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 and litter.
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 encouraged you to bring bug spray. Please note there will be times when we are walking in local waterways, we highly recommend rain boots or footwear that is able to get wet.
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.
This service opportunity is made possible through the generous support of AWS InCommunities.
