National Park Week 2013

National Park Week is proclaimed each year by the President of the United States to recognize and celebrate our national parks. America's National Park System contains living examples of some of the best things our nation has to offer-magnificent natural landscapes and places that reflect our heritage.

Each spring Voyageurs National Park celebrates with an annual Kids Art Contest. Kids from preschool through sixth grade enter the contest by creating a painting or drawing that illustrates a park theme. During an open house, prizes are awarded and activities are available for the entire family. Explore the Kids Art Contest section to see past contest posters, participant pictures, and winning entries,
