    National Park Week Is Approaching And The Parks Are Excited!

    This is for the Editorial Fellowship.

    The #NationalParkWeek of 2022 starts April 16-24! This years theme is "sPark Connections"! And we wanna know what new connections you'll spark at the parks this year!

    Every year a variety of National Parks across the country will host events and programs that encourage people to connect and learn about our beloved parks. There are over 400 parks in the U.S., giving many ways to create new connections!

    Check out NPS website for finding parks near you or ones you'd like to see!

    As a way to bring the people out to the parks and get the celebration started, the parks will waive all entrance fees on the first day of NPW, April 16.

    The NPS website has a number of fun sPark activites for you, your friends and the whole family to enjoy. Ranger Challenges are a great way to learn, get involved and discover everything the parks have to offer.

By downloading the NPS App, you'll find a whole new world just at the tip of your fingertips. Virtual tours, interactive maps, history and so much more!
