President Obama To Offer Free Admission To National Parks For a Year To EVERY Fourth Grader And Their Families #FindYourPark
President
Obama is giving the gift of nature to all fourth graders and their
families with free admission to national parks and other federal
lands for a full year. The Every Kid in a Park initiative is part of
an effort to get schoolchildren outdoors and more active. It will
start in the school year that begins next fall, which coincides with
the 100th anniversary of the National Parks Service in 2016.
In
a speech at Gwendolyn Brooks College Preparatory Academy, President
Obama said: "We want every fourth-grader to have the
experience of getting out and discovering America. We want them
to see the outside of a classroom too; see all the places that make
America great. Put down the smartphone for a second. Put
away the video games. Breathe in some fresh air and see this
incredible bounty that’s been given to us. No matter who you are,
no matter where you live, our parks and our monuments, our lands, our
waters -- these places are the birthright of all Americans.”
Every
Kid in a Park joins the Foundation's Open
Outdoors for Kids program
in helping children learn history, culture, and science while
exploring the great outdoors. The initiative is an
administration-wide effort among the National Park Service, Forest
Service, Department of Education, Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of
Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Reclamation,
and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The
White House also announced it will help schools and families arrange
trips to the parks "by providing key trip-planning tools and
helping to cover transportation costs for schools with the greatest
financial need."
The
National Park Service is launching
a revised education portal featuring
more than 1,000 materials developed for K-12 teachers, including
science labs, lesson plans, and field trip guides. With this kind of
support, we can help our children become lifelong learners -- both
inside and outside the classroom.
