Kenai Refuge: Kenai Peninsula Sports, Rec and Trade Show Booth

Project NameKenai Peninsula Sports, Rec and Trade Show Booth
Project Number401
LocationSoldotna Sports Center
DatesMay 6-8, 2022
Duration3 days
Number of Volunteers Needed10
DescriptionFriends volunteers will help staff one of two Kenai NWR outreach stations at the Sports Show in Soldotna (at the Sports Center). Inside, we host a traditional information table where visitors will play a scavenger hunt game and enter a door prize drawing. Indoor volunteers will be provided a volunteer vest while at the info booth and will work alongside a refuge staff member. Familiarity with the Kenai Refuge is very helpful for the inside info table. Outside, volunteers will join refuge staff to help children catch a trout in the ADFG Trout Pond by tying their leaders to their fishing poles. When the successful kids catch their fish, send them home with their leader and a recipe on how to cook their fish. Weather can be changeable, so outdoor volunteers should be willing to work in wind and possibly rain, during possibly cold early-spring days.
