The California State Park Adventure Pass Program waives the day-use fees across 19 state parks for fourth grade students and their families for a full year – including the summer. Attached you will find a letter created by the program for parents/guardians with some information about the program and it’s quick (and free) application process, which consists of:
-
As a fourth grader who lives in California, you can apply for this pass but your parent or guardian will need to help you. Applying for the free pass online is simple. All that is needed is a name, address, phone number and an email. For individuals that do not have access to a smartphone, computer or printer and/or do not have an email address to use when applying online, they can still apply for a pass by visiting a State Parks Pass Sales Office -- click here for a list of locations – or calling (800) 444-7275. For detailed information on the program, please visit parks.ca.gov/AdventurePass.
This is a great opportunity for your fourth grade students and their families. The state parks offers many different activities on-site, along with sights that can only be seen in nature. Whether it’s a hiking trail, visit to the state beach to be close to the ocean, or getting a close view of mountains, this type of program can lead to new experiences for many of our families and build strong memories. As the letter notes:
“The State of California believes in the right of all Californians to have access to recreational opportunities and enjoy the cultural, historic and natural resources found across the state.”
