What is WE Play!?

The KaBOOM! Workshops Entirely on Play (WE Play!) are one-day regional trainings that provide everything you need to know on planning playspace projects. These fun-filled (can you say "kazoo"?), action-packed trainings use the KaBOOM! Community Build Road Map as a framework for building great places to play. A few of the topics we cover are playground safety, surfacing, design, fundraising, and Build Day preparation. Participants represent a variety of organizations, including YMCAs, Boys & Girls Clubs, parks and recreation departments, schools, churches, and neighborhood associations. What’s more exciting? All participants have the opportunity to volunteer at a local playground build the next day. In other words, you’ll come ready to learn and leave ready to play (and plan)!

What is a webinar?

Short for web-based seminar, a webinar is an online presentation or seminar with interactive elements — the ability to give, receive and discuss information. In a webinar, each participant sits at his or her own computer and is connected to other participants on the Internet. The presenter speaks over a standard telephone line, pointing out information being presented on screen, and the audience can respond over their own telephones or over an online chat.

KaBOOM! holds two to three webinars each month that cover topics ranging from our community-build model to fundraising to innovative side projects. To participate, all you need are a phone and an Internet connection. The sessions generally last 45-60 minutes each. Check out the schedule of all upcoming webinars and archives.

I will be attednding the WE Play in Pittsburgh. Just some basic questions.  Does Kaboom contract any transportation rates to the hotel and build site?  Will the CFCP be a part of the training as I read they are based in Pittsburgh?

Hi!

We are so glad that you are coming to Pittsburgh. We have a block of rooms at the Marriott City Center. The rate is $129 and you can make reservations by calling 412-471-4000 and asking for the KaBOOM! WE Play rate. We will not be providing transportation to build site, but it is only 5 miles from the hotel, so you can definitely take a cab. I suggest sharing with another WE Play participant or two.

I will get back to you shortly on the participation of the CFCP.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

In play,
Leslie

Thanks to the generous support of The Grable Foundation and The Pittsburgh Foundation, the June 26 and 27 WE Play! in Pittsburgh has been fully underwritten.  These partnerships will help KaBOOM! put on a great training for participating community organizations and also will help us broaden and extend outreach to more participants.  Thanks again and see you in Pittsburgh!

For build day remember to bring sturdy, close-toed shoes and comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting dirty!
