Every Kid in a Park

Every Kid in a Park is intended to get every 4th grade student in America into their Federal parks! At the website below, students can learn about the program, take a short quiz, and print out a pass that is good for the student and their families for one year! Until August 2021, the National Parks are honoring the pass for 5th graders too.

“Because no matter who you are, no matter where you live, our parks, our monuments, our lands, our waters — these places are your birthright as Americans”

Junior Rangers
These Junior Rangers are from Sango Elementary School in Clarksville, Tennessee. They had just completed the park's Junior Ranger book...and did quite well.
