In an effort to help children learn history, culture and science while exploring the great outdoors, the Every Kid in a Park initiative is inviting all 4th graders and their families for the 2015-2016 school year FREE OF CHARGE! So if you have a 4th grader, which I will next year, you are in luck.
The initiative is an administration-wide effort among the National Park Service, Forest Service, Department of Education, Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Reclamation, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Head over to their site to take the pledge of your support, and as a thank you, you’ll be able to download our special National Park Owner’s Guide, Parks For Play: 35 National Park Adventures for Kids of All Ages.
Thanks Leslie for the heads up on this!
Is this for 4th graders this year or next year? I have a 4th grader this year, wondering if we can do it or not since he will be 5th next year.
This is for 4th graders for the 2015-16 school year, so if you have a 3rd grader for this school year. If they progress to 4th, you will be able to get free admission NEXT school year.
