Nature Play Day - General Float Support
At Nature Play Days, community gathers at Arcadia to connect, explore outdoor play, and enjoy fun nature-based activities. Preschool and summer camp families can reminisce - or get to know the space for upcoming adventures - while sanctuary visitors make new friends and get to know neighbors. Families enjoy activities like scavenger hunts, nature bingo, and creative play with natural building materials.
Step in where needed to keep the event running smoothly. Float volunteers may assist with setup and cleanup, provide extra help at activity stations, support parking or wayfinding, and respond to any last-minute needs. This flexible role ensures the event goes off without a hitch. Additional potential activities include helping with check in, giving out activities and materials, gathering natural materials for imaginative play, and more.
