Interlochen State Park - Centennial Fun Open House

Description

Join us as we celebrate the Michigan state parks centennial with an Open House! We will be sharing ideas for family-friendly outdoor fun offered by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and other organizations. Our goal is to encourage learning through adventure all summer long. 

Children are welcome to "Touch-the-Trucks", as DNR staff will have a variety of big equipment on display.
