4th Graders Are FREE!
You might say, we rode on the coattails of our 4th grader this summer. Like we used the simple fact that he is entering 4th grade to visit not one, but two, national parks and take a joyride up to the top of Pikes Peak in Colorado.
How did we do this for FREE?
All 4th graders are free with the 4th grade Every Kid in a Park pass.
The program is called Every Kid in a Park. And it’s super easy to help your 4th grader obtain their pass. You simply visit the website, help your child answer a few questions, and print a certificate to show at the gate of the participating park you are going to be visiting.
What entities participate in the Every Kid in a Park program?
Visit the website to verify, but just to give you an idea, survey all of the various United States agencies that encourage families to wander outdoors and forge new memories!
- U.S. Bureau of Land Management
- U.S. Bureau of Reclamation
- National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
- National Park Service
- U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
- U.S. Forest Service
- U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
How are you and your family opting outside this summer?
So glad you are going to have more time to invest in your blog. What a great gift from your hubby!
I know!!!!! Wow a comment within 5 minutes of posting! You TOTALLY blessed me!!! Thank you!!!!
Thanks for sharing this!! Totally doing this with my 4th grader!
Yea!! I am so so so excited!! Where do you think you are going to go?
We live in VA, I want to definitely take advantage of all that is around us! But want to check out more of what we could go do! I told my sister and she is taking a trip to Hawaii in October with her 4th grader, and go to a national park out there! Also, should I sign him up after he starts 4th grade (we homeschool and he will start probably in August or September)?? I was reading on their website it is valid until 8/31/17 if I sign him up now?
Yes, you just might want to wait!!! I didn’t realize that!!! EEEEEKKKKKK I didn’t read the fine print.
Thanks Jodi!! ?
