  Volunteer Day at Holliday Park

  6363 Spring Mill Rd, Indianapolis

  
  

  Sunday October 25, 2026, 9:00 am - 12:00 pm (noon)

  We have been contacted by Holliday Park to see if we could send over some volunteers on Sunday, October 25th at 9:00 AM to help pick up the pumpkin luminaries we set out last Saturday.  This should be a pretty easy task. All of the gravel gets dumped out right on the trail and the pumpkins get put in a large trash bag. 

  
  

  This should take less than an hour.

  We get credit for our volunteer hours to be used to offset our use of the nature center for our meetings.   This would help build our relationship with the park and keep us on good terms.

  Please register so we can anticipate turnout. You will be expected to check in and sign a waiver. 

  Thanks in advance for your help

  Please RSVP to help us anticipate turnout.

We are committed to teaching and learning the essential skills needed to be confident in and enjoy wilderness and outdoor adventures. We will take you off the beaten path – to the park, to the river and to the wilderness – and help you find your dreams.

  Presenters will be experienced leaders who are also Board Members.
