The free park ranger-led activities will be offered at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., with a special badge and swearing-in ceremony at 3:00 p.m. Come explore the park and learn about what makes Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore a special place and how the Lakeshore can help keep you healthy and active.
