-Parents, Did you know that there's a new federal initiative called Every Kid in a Park that gives 4th graders AND their families FREE admission into ALL of the National Parks and Monuments? This includes nearby National Park Service sites such as the Great Sand Dunes, Chaco Canyon, Bandelier, Mesa Verde, Carlsbad Caverns, and about 400 more across the US!
