P.L.A.Y. Outdoors Oregon- 2024
(Promoting Lifelong Activities for Youth)

PLAY Outdoors was created in 2010 by a coalition of local groups, in Klamath Falls Oregon, with interests in the outdoors. The organizations’ purpose is to introduce youth to outdoor activities, with an attempt to sway them from electronic devices and other unhealthy activities while promoting family-oriented activities. While each group has its own goals and objectives, we put them aside to focus on our youth.

Each year, for one Saturday in January, this year January 20th 2024, PLAY sponsors an event to engage our youth. All participating groups provide their own interactive activity or informational booth that signifies that group’s goals and objectives while promoting safety and responsibility.

Our first event was held in January 2011 with over 820 youth and 890 adults passing through the door to visit the 30 plus events. The past 3 years has brought per year, 1,250 youth and 1,100 adult attendees, 2015 set a record for both youth and adults with 1,800 of each. The numbers for our 2023 event scaled back to 972 youth and 875 adults.

More than 200 volunteers represented the various local groups ranging from: Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, Oregon Hunters Association, US Forest Service, Klamath Wingwatchers, ASAP, Klamath County Mounted Horse Posse, Unlimited Pheasants, Bureau of Land Management, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Henley FFA, YMCA and others. As you can see, we have a wide variety of groups with different views. This year, even more organizations will attend.

The organization is facilitated by Ken Hand and Chris Solomon. ASAP is a 501C3 non-profit organization. For more information contact: Chris Solomon 541-891-3501 chrisgs53@yahoo.com or Ken Hand 541 281-2224 or okbs4u@msn.com
