Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Parks Camp Resorts are working to become more green every year and help protect the environment with water- and energy-saving practices, recycling initiatives and offering educational programs with environmental themes.

“Many of our locations are using paperless check-in and encouraging guests to use the Jellystone Park app to access the daily activity schedules in order to reduce the usage of paper. Some Jellystone Park locations use recycled materials for their arts and crafts activities,” said Trent Hershenson, vice president of marketing for Camp Jellystone, the Southfield, Michigan-based company that franchises Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts across the U.S. and Canada.

Two Pennsylvania franchised locations are doing their part.

The Harrisville, Pennsylvania location is a three-time winner of Outdoor Hospitality Industry’s Plan-it-Green Award, which recognizes exceptional water, energy and recycling initiatives in campgrounds and RV parks. It also installed motion-activated faucets and lights, high-efficiency toilets, tankless water heaters and a paperless reservation system. All the parks pathways are made of all natural materials, and its laser tag battlefield is made of recycled or repurposed materials, including recycled tires, recycled building materials and recycled playground equipment. It also features a “Leave No Trace” junior ranger program.

At the Quarryville, Pennsylvania campground, energy-saving light bulbs have been installed, and recycling bins have been placed in the main buildings and attractions. Flyers are also posted in each cabin to encourage guests to turn off the lights when they are not in the unit.
