Picnic Day

There are many resources available on Picnic Day in the event of an emergency.

Lost Children's Booth

If you should become separated from your child, please contact the nearest information booth, event staff member, or law enforcement officer. If you should come across a lost child, please escort them to the nearest information booth and/or contact any event staff member. Lost children will be escorted to the Picnic Day Headquarters, located in the East Conference Room, on the first floor of the Memorial Union building.Please stop by our Headquarters or any of our information booths to register your child to aid in reuniting if you should become separated.

If you or adults in your party become separated, please utilize our Central Meeting Place, located at the flag pole on the south patio next to the quad. Pencils, paper, and a bulletin board will be provided to leave information for your party.


Tag-a-Kid

This is a free program being offered to children ages 10 and younger. Please stop by the Lost Children's Booth and get a wristband for your child. Your child will wear a wristband asking individuals if they are lost to escort them to the Lost Children's Booth and contains an individualized serial number. This serial corresponds to the serial number on the contact card you will fill out when your register your child. Information on the card will include: Parent's Name, Child's Name, Age, Description, and Contact Information for the parents. This will aid us in rapidly reuniting your family together if you should become separated. It will also aid us in getting a description out if your child is missing. In times of crisis, parents sometimes have a hard time remembering what their child was wearing, and this will provide us that info if you can not recall it in such an emergent situation.
