FAMILY CREEK STOMP

A Pollinator BioBlitz is an event where participants come together to observe, identify and document various pollinators in a specific area over a short period of time. During our Pollinator BioBlitz, participants will work to spot as many different pollinator species as they can, using tools like cameras, field guides or apps (such as iNaturalist) to document their findings. One registration per individual.

Get ready for a splashin’ good time at Flowing Well’s Cool Creek! Perfect for families of all ages, this program offers the chance to get your feet wet, discover hidden aquatic creatures and connect with nature in a fun and interactive way. As we stomp through the creek, we’ll search for fish, frogs, insects and other critters that call the water home. You’ll also learn about the important role creeks and streams play in our local ecosystem and how to protect these precious habitats. Bring your family, get your feet muddy and experience nature up close in a way that only a creek stomp can offer! One registration per individual.

STATEMENT OF ACCESSIBILITY Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation (CCPR) makes a good-faith effort to ensure all patrons, and the community at-large, are knowledgeable of the resources and opportunities available to them, which support full and active participation within CCPR’s parks, facilities, and programs. CCPR believes every individual has the right to participate in activities and programs that support their physical, mental, social and emotional wellness, and therefore contribute to enhancing their overall quality of life. Based on this belief, and CCPR’s vision and mission, we are committed to the provision of services for individuals of all ages, skills, and ability levels. This is achieved by identifying and removing barriers in order to serve individual and community needs, as well as to provide quality programs and services accessible to all; such as our many recreational, leisure, and education-based programs, volunteer opportunities, and interactive public events. CCPR is committed to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act through making reasonable modifications as required by the ADA. Requests for modifications must be made through one of CCPR’s Inclusion Supervisors within 30 days of the start of the program of interest. CCPR will provide reasonable modifications as soon as possible after the commencement of the modification process. Specific criteria will be found on registration documentation. In addition, CCPR is dedicated to nondiscrimination in the provision of programs, services, and activities to the public. CCPR will continue to incorporate all consumer feedback, current research, and practice knowledge in order to continue meeting and exceeding customer/community satisfaction and to protect and promote access for all for generations to come.
