Every Kid in a Park
The Every Kid in a Park program inspires a new generation to get outside and to become stewards of our nation’s cultural and natural heritage. Through this program, every fourth grader in America can obtain a pass for free entry for them and their families into more than 2,000 federally managed lands and waters nationwide for an entire year. The participating agencies include: 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.
OAK is a proud partner of the Every Kid in a Park campaign to inspire the next generation of cultural and environmental stewards. To ensure the Every Kid in a Park program continues to reach kids with outdoor opportunities, OAK is seeking testimonials from children, parents, caregivers and teachers. Help share the impact of the outdoor experience by having youth participants fill out the “I love my Every Kid in a Park pass because…” postcard!
