Lets more kids visit national parks for free, permanently funding the program.
This bill would let more children, including fifth graders and older home-schooled kids, visit national parks and other public lands for free. It would make the "Every Kid Outdoors" program permanent. The bill would also set aside $25 million each year to support it, helping schools and underserved communities with transportation and outreach.
Today, the Every Kid Outdoors program gives free access to public lands mainly for fourth graders and 10-year-old home-schooled learners, but its authorization is not permanent. If this bill passes, the program would become permanent, expand eligibility to include fifth graders and 10- and 11-year-old home-schooled learners, and receive $25 million each government budget year for operations, promotion, transportation, and outreach.
