Registration is now open for the Great Outdoor Weekend - September 22 & 23, 2012

As an initiative of Green Umbrella, the Great Outdoor Weekend (GOW) offers over 100 family-friendly events presented by the best environmental education and outdoor recreation organizations in the region around Greater Cincinnati.

This is a wonderful way for families to sample a variety of hands-on, nature education opportunities presented by a wide variety of local nonprofit organizations and parks. Since the first Great Outdoor Weekend in 2004, we have grown into a event that draws nearly 10,000 visitors annually to outdoor venues in our Tri-State area.  As participants in Great Outdoor Weekend often explore multiple programs during the weekend, it has become a wonderful opportunity to market your organization to adults and children who have not previously visited your facilities.

 
By hosting a program(s) as part of GOW, your organization will be a part of the largest collaboration of organizations committed to sustainability in our region. Organizations are encouraged to offer innovative programs that will appeal to the interest of their visitors. Organizations are responsible for securing their own location, providing materials and their own staff and/or volunteers in order to make their event a success. For those partnering with another participating organization, please receive their permission in advance. Your event must be free and open to the public.

As a member of Green Umbrella, your organization may register an event at no charge! If your organization or group is not yet a memeber of Green Umbrella, you will be able to sign up at the same time that you register your event.
