Other ways to give back to parks
Be a campground host
Enjoy the great outdoors while also helping others enjoy their own camping experiences. The host program generally operates from April to September and hosts must be able to devote a minimum to two weeks to a selected campground.
On Track Program
Nebraska Game and Parks is seeking funding assistance to purchase track chairs, all-terrain electric-powered chairs, that allow visitors to explore state parks in new ways by accessing areas that may not be suitable for regular wheelchairs.
