Hoover Elementary School in an active day of outdoor games and exploring. Bowman helped lead activities, which included learning how to pack a backpack for a day hike as part of a “backpack relay race” and setting up a tent. The energetic students left the event with their own official Every Kid in a Park pass.
Support for Every Kid in a Park continues to grow. The program is now secured for the next five years, giving new generations of fourth graders access to more than 2,000 sites. The program is sustained by the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Forest Service, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Although it is primarily implemented through these seven agencies, the program has received support from many community organizations and foundations.
