The challenge
In 2021, we’re challenging you to explore our diverse state park system in honor of our parks centennial! We’re asking you to snap a selfie at one of our parks and share your story for a chance to win prizes, including a Forest River RV Patriot Edition 14cc from AC Nelsen RV World. The best stories and photos will be included in our centennial time capsule, which will be preserved and shared with future generations.
Your Parks Adventure begins June 1 and ends Nov. 30.
How it works
Grand prize
If you visit Nebraska’s first three parks, Chadron State Park, Victoria Springs State Recreation Area, and Arbor Lodge State Historical Park, and our newest one, Danish Alps State Recreation Area — and submit a photo taken at each park’s selfie station — you’ll be entered for a chance to win our grand prize: a Forest River RV Patriot Edition 14cc from AC Nelsen RV World.
All participants who complete the grand prize challenge will receive a limited edition commemorative challenge coin. Challenge participants can be registered only once for the grand prize drawing.
