VOLUNTEER

MASTER NATURALISTS

Individuals who graduate from our Youth or Adult Indiana Master Naturalist programs instantly become eligible to volunteer within our department-wide programs and events.

“You can help with environmental education programs, pull garlic mustard, organize a cleanup event or become a “rubbish buster” as you wander long the trails in solitude. The choice is yours! ” - Karen LeMere More info about programs on page 44.

Zachary Kline | Volunteer Coordinator 317.843.3868 zkline@carmelclayparks.com

PARK CHAMPION | VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT Dan Boylan

“Parks show the strength of a community and that we care about a quality of life. I volunteer because, though picking up trash is a little event, it allows people to see the beauty in the park rather than being distracted by something little.”

CC PR w i ns the G OLD! “It is like winning the Super Bowl of the parks world.”

Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation (CCPR) achieved an unprecedented level of national acclaim during the 2014 NRPA Congress in Charlotte, North Carolina. In addition to receiving its accreditation from the National Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA), CCPR received a prestigious 2014 National Gold Medal Award for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management by The American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration (AAPRA), in partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) for parks serving populations of 75,001 to 150,000.

“These achievements are both impressive accomplishments in their own right. The Gold Medal Award is the benchmark by which all agencies wish to be measured – it is like winning the Super Bowl of the parks world,” says Michael Klitzing, Chief Operating Officer for Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation. “Receiving the CAPRA Accreditation is the culmination of months of dedication by our staff to document our policies and procedures to meet the required stringent standards.

Less than 120 parks in the United States hold this accreditation and only three in Indiana.”

In the past 10 years, more than $72 million has been invested to purchase new parkland, develop parks and recreational facilities, and make capital replacements within existing parks. For the past two years, CCPR has achieved 85 percent cost recovery on its $11 million combined operating budget.

“This high level of self-sufficiency has afforded CCPR the opportunity to expand its programs, grow and maintain its workforce, and free up tax dollars for capital projects, all for the benefit of the citizens we serve,” says Klitzing.

CCPR annually serves approximately 2,400 students in its Extended School Enrichment before and after school program, 4,600 children in its Summer Camp Series, 13,500 residents in its community events, and 56,000 participants in its nearly 2,400 different recreation and aquatic programs. Nearly 70 percent of Carmel/Clay Township households visit the Monon Community Center and The Waterpark, explaining why annual membership and pass attendance exceeds 500,000. CCPR manages 502 acres of parkland, 12 parks, 4 greenways, and 21.7 miles of developed trails with total annual visitation estimated to be in the millions.
