Calling all Fourth Graders
As of the beginning of September 2015, fourth graders have the incredible opportunity to obtain unlimited access to America's national lands and waters. As part of the Every Kid in a Park initiative, you can explore America's wonders for FREE, which includes over 400 national parks and millions of acres of amazing natural areas around the country. If you're not a fourth grader quite yet, don't worry! This program runs each year from September 1st to August 31st, so don't forget to get your pass when you're eligible in the future. Visit the Every Kid in a Park website to take advantage of your free access today!
How to Get Started
To get started, all you have to do is download your voucher or pass from the Every Kid in a Park website after completing a fun, online adventure game. If you're a parent or a fourth grade educator, the site includes tools and information to get started and plan trips for your kids. After you get your pass, the voucher can then be exchanged for an official Fourth Grader Access Pass at many federal sites
