Hoosier Outdoor Experience registration begins

Indiana DNR Release:

Looking for a free and fun, family-oriented event that provides a healthy taste of the great outdoors?

Then register for the Hoosier Outdoor Experience, the first event of its kind in Indiana, featuring hands-on opportunities to try fly fishing, kayaking, mountain biking, archery and dozens of other activities.

Scheduled for Sept. 26-27 at Fort Harrison State Park in Indianapolis, the Experience is presented by the Department of Natural Resources and the Indiana Natural Resources Foundation, with sponsorship support from the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust, Ball Brothers Foundation, and WXIN-Fox 59, Indianapolis.

Parking, admission, activities, demonstrations and seminars are free to the public, but online registration is required.

By registering, participants will help Experience organizers estimate attendance and improve outreach efforts for this year’s event and future events. All information collected will be used only to evaluate the Experience. Registrants may be contacted to invite their participation in a research study about the event.

Registration is available at hoosieroutdoorexperience.IN.gov. Click on the yellow registration icon and follow instructions.

The process limits registration to no more than eight. Youth groups, church groups and others with special requests larger than eight registrants can call the Hoosier Outdoor Experience staff at (317) 562-1338 or e-mail outdoorexperience@dnr.IN.gov.
