The goal of Nature Play Days is to encourage kids and their caretakers to play outside and to remind everyone that nature play is important and can happen close to home. Nature Play Days are hosted in partnership with the Indiana Children and Nature Network (ICAN). Conner Prairie is thrilled to partner with ICAN to encourage nature-based play!
