Zachary Kline | Volunteer Supervisor 317.843.3868 zkline@carmelclayparks.com

Bailey Funkhouser | VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Volunteering with CCPR has been a wonderful experience. What started out as a class project turned into a passion for giving back to my community. I’ve been able to work closely with all kinds of people; from children with their fathers at Princess Ball, all the way to families trying to race their children across the pool in a cardboard box. Not only do I get to work with the radical people of Carmel, but I also get to work with the people who run the whole show. They treat all of their volunteers with great respect and they don’t micro-manage us. This is all a very long elaboration for me to put simply: I love working with CCPR and will most definitely continue to volunteer with them even after my class!

Lil’ Kickers: Cottontails

Cottontail’s is a class designed for children who are ready for more of a challenge than the Thumpers class, but who are not quite ready to be on the field without a parent or caregiver. The Cottontails curriculum is designed to build fundamental skills such as balance, coordination, and ball skills. Cottontail’s classes also offer another component - Helping your child build a sense of independence. As children progress through the sessions and become ready for more independence, parents can choose to transition to a less active role in the class, helping prepare the child to transition to the next level.

Toddler Play at Parks

New parents turn to parks as an outlet for their children to run and play. We’ve broken it down into our top 10 parks and activities. Have some fun and complete our fall bucket list.

It’s never to early to start your child with swim lessons. Toddlers learn to put their face underwater and get comfortable in the water around them.

Carey Grove Park. With its 1-mile circle loop around the playgrounds, this park is a perfect spot for moms and strollers. Children can pick Paw Paws (when in season), shoot hoops, or swing.

Fill your picnic basket and take it to a park. All of our parks have picnic benches or open greenspace for you and your toddler to enjoy.

Discover new hobbies or interests by glancing through this Escape Guide for different programs.

Rock Out! Our Kinderjam classes get your kid movin’. It’s a great way for them to release energy.

Go on an educational walk and read the interpretive signage within the Central Park East Woods.

Inlow Park. This park doesn’t just have a splash pad. Inside the woods are three magnificent playgrounds with long slides, awesome hiding spots, and adventure.

Build your child’s social skills in our Parent/Child programs focusing on sports, arts, nature, and more.

White River Greenway. If you’re looking for the perfect location for a family bike ride in the fall, this is the trail for you!

Get outdoors and get dirty by engaging your toddler in a nature-based activity, such as a scavenger hunt.

Keep those toddlers captivated by nature’s brillance and visit as many places as you can.

Save the Monarch Butterfly Reversing the population decline

The monarch butterfly is well known for its beautiful orange color, fascinating life cycle, and remarkable annual migration and is the most celebrated butterfly in North America, yet it is on the verge of extinction!

Why is this important to you? Monarchs are an indicator species of the health of our environment. Their decline is a visible sign of trouble facing all pollinators in general, such as bees, bats, and birds. Three-fourths of the world’s flowering plants and about 35 percent of the world’s food crops depend on animal pollinators to reproduce.

Imagine the significance and consequence of losing most of our beautiful flowers and 35 percent of the world’s crops.

The monarch is also an insect and as an indicator species, it reflects the health of our insect population. Of all birds in North America, 96 percent feed their young insects. If the monarchs fail, ultimately the entire ecosystem of our planet fails, one species at a time, one after another. The current plight of the monarch is complicated but is easy to understand once you know their life cycle. Monarchs only lay their eggs on milkweed, and its leaves are the only plant the caterpillar can eat. Without milkweed the monarch cannot survive.

Milkweed has been abundant enough to support the monarch population for thousands of years, but in the past 20 years something changed. Today the monarch population is down by 90 percent or more! Deforestation of the monarchs’ wintering grounds in Mexico is one issue, but the Mexican government has stepped up and is working to improve that problem. Climate change is another. We can’t do much about deforestation in Mexico or climate change, at least very quickly. But we can do something about the problem here in the US, which is habitat loss.

In Indiana, our expansion of communities has contributed to habitat loss, but there is a far larger problem.

Around 20 years ago a new product was introduced to farmers, commonly referred to as Roundup Ready crops.

The use of Roundup Ready crops now accounts for about 98 percent of the crops planted in the Midwest. The use of roundup ready products increases crop yield which lowers prices and provides more food, which is great for all of us! But Roundup is also really, really good at killing milkweed, the only plant the monarch can lay its eggs on and feed their offspring.

To save the monarchs, we need to create more habitat by planting milkweed in our parks, yards, alongside roads or anyplace that we can find. For more information on how you can get involved and start saving the monarch, visit our website at carmelclayparks.com.

CCPR believes every individual has the right to participate in activities and programs that supports 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, skill and ability levels.

CCPR is committed to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act through making reasonable modifications as required by the ADA.
