Free 4th Grade Access to all Federal Lands and Waters?

Has anyone on the forum used the 4th Grade Access pass from the Federal Government. According to the program its grants free access for a 4th grader and their family...Has anyone had any issues or exemptions when using the pass at National Parks?

    It is also for a wide range of educators

    My late wife was a 4th grade teacher in inner city schools, always looking for programs like this.

    What a great program to open up the wonders of our National Parks and lands for the next generation and their families.

    This information should be shared not only on this forum but on others as well.
  • Is it just 4th graders specifically or any grade up to 4th ? We have a 3rd grader and would love to use this pass to park.
  • Yes the pass is for 4th graders and their family. It was actually marketed on the radio last summer. I'm surprised not many folks on the forum have heard of this program or used it. Has anyone used the passes previously?
  • It is just prepping those 8 year olds for eventually getting the Geezer Pass.
    Let's see, they only have to wait another 54 years and they'll qualify.
    So get in free when you are 8 yrs. old, then pay for 54 years until you become 62 yrs. old.
