Shenandoah National Park

 
The National Park Service has announced a new initiative geared towards getting kids outside and into National Parks. “Every Kid in a Park” is giving a FREE admission pass to all 4th grade students during the 2015-2016 school year. Starting September 1st, 2015 and valid until August 31st, 2016 the pass will allow all 4th graders in the US (and presumably their parents) into National Parks, Forests, Historical Sites, and so much more that the National Park Service has to offer.

More information will be available at http://www.nationalparks.org/ook/every-kid-in-a-park beginning September 1st.
