Nature Play Day Host Resources
We are here to help make your NPD a success. ICAN coordinates the NPD effort statewide as an effort to get kids and families all across Indiana to jump start their summer with nature play. We want kids to connect with the outdoors around them and hopefully discover new places to play and organizations like yours near them! ICAN will lead promotional efforts to publicize NPDs and manage the statewide NPD listing online.
You've registered a NPD so you understand the importance of outdoor play but many people do not. ICAN has a variety of resources available to families to help them connect with the outdoors. We hope you can make ICAN part of your event and share ICAN resources with your attendees. Together we all rise-- and get kids outdoors! Tools to enhance your event and integrate ICAN are below (logos, social media promos). Additionally, a Resource Packet is available for those new to event planning or looking for additional support. A limited supply of #ICANPlay30 pledge stickers and other decals are available and can be requested below. Nature Play Day Resources for Download
