Who Are the River Dads?

We are a service club of dads whose kids attend Carmel River Elementary School with a focus on social events and the lighter side of life! Our mission is to provide fun activities for the kids and families of the River School community, and an opportunity for dads to get to know each other. We work closely with the school's administration, and the PTA, though we are a separate and independent 501(c)(3) organization.

What do we do?

We have fun! The River Dads put on some awesome events throughout the school year!

Movie Nights

Welcome Back Dinner

Art Party

Carmel City Parade

School Campout

Sandcastle Contest

Beach Party

And More!


We hold our general membership meetings at local establishments where we organize upcoming events and enjoy the fellowship of the River Dads community over a beverage or two...or not, what ever works for you!

Join the River Dads!

Joining the River Dads is very simple...just show up! The River Dads is an all volunteer organization open to anyone with a child at Carmel River Elementary and we are always looking for dads to be involved!
