What started as an annual beach clean up day has now turned into a monthly event. The Animal House of Okoboji invites anyone to participate in its third summer of beach clean up. Started in the summer of 2022 we are officially making this a monthly event. Join us the last Wednesday of each month to help clean up our beaches and surrounding areas. All you need to do is show up. Our starting time is 10 am. Our starting location is Bob’s at the Park (location can be found on the map below). We will provide you a location and trash bag, gloves and anything else you might need to pick up garbage. When you are done with your location for the day make sure to bring your trash bags back to Bob’s and we will take care of disposal. Each volunteer will receive a free Pura Vida bracelet for their time and effort.

Thank you for being part of the Iowa Great Lakes Beach Clean Up. Each of us can do our part, big or small. We want Okoboji to be enjoyed for generations to come! If you are interested in learning more please send Steve Strom a message.

Clean Up Locations:

Many of our customers would love to support our beaches in other ways besides just cleaning up themselves, a great way to support and giveback to our lakes is by purchasing our Unsalted No Sharks products. 10% of all the proceeds go back into keeping not only our lakes clean but lakes around the United States as well! Our customers can shop and wear Unsalted proudly knowing they gave back to our lakes!
