A Free National Parks Pass for 4th Graders
Every Kid Outdoors ๐๐ฒ
One of the best perks of living in Northern California (or anywhere in the U.S.) is having incredible access to our national parks and public lands. And if you have a 4th grader in your family, there’s even better news: they can explore it all for free thanks to the Every Kid Outdoors program! ๐
What is the Every Kid Outdoors Program?
The program was created to help families experience the wonders of the outdoors while encouraging kids to connect with nature. It provides all 4th graders (and their families) with a free annual pass that covers entrance fees at:
- National Parks ๐๏ธ
- National Forests ๐ฒ
- National Wildlife Refuges ๐ฆ
- Bureau of Land Management lands ๐๏ธ
That means whether you want to hike in Yosemite, explore Point Reyes National Seashore, or walk among the giants in Muir Woods National Monument, your family can enjoy the outdoors without worrying about entrance costs.
๐ Get your pass here
How It Works
1. Visit everykidoutdoors.gov
2. Have your 4th grader complete a fun activity online.
3. Print the pass (or bring the digital version) and show it at participating sites.
The pass is valid for the entire school year plus the following summer—giving families plenty of time to plan adventures!
