Beginning September 1st all kids in the fourth grade have access to their own Every Kid in a Park pass. This pass provides free access to national parks, national forests, national wildlife refuges, and more. The Every Kid in a Park pass is good for the 2015-2016 school year, until August 31, 2016.
The program gives the family an annual pass to over 2,000 federally managed parks across the country. For parks that charge per-vehicle, everyone in the vehicle can get in for free. For per-person sites, the program gives a pass to the student and up to three accompanying adults.
