Jellystone Park locations across the country are planning to celebrate Father’s Day with a variety of competitive activities, including father-child mini golf tournaments, fishing derbies, father-child look-alike contests, and dad joke contests.
“Each location has its own mix of activities to celebrate dad on his special day,” said Trent Hershenson, a father of two and director of marketing for Camp Jellystone. Camp Jellystone franchises more than 75 Jellystone Park locations across the U.S. and Canada. “Some Jellystone Park locations will celebrate Father’s Day with an entire week’s worth of father-child activities.”
