Register Your 2020 Kids to Parks Day Event
The 10th Anniversary of Kids to Parks Day is Saturday, May 16, 2020. Kids to Parks Day is a national day of outdoor play, with the goal of connecting kids and families to parks and creating future stewards of our public lands and waters. Now is the time to start planning and promoting your 2020 event.

Dont worry if May 16th doesnt work for your schedule as a way to ensure everyone can participate in this nationwide initiative, National Park Trust is happy to include any event in May that invites kids and families to get outdoors. If you're already planning an outdoor event for kids, just register your event to be included in a searchable Kids to Parks Day map. Events can be hikes, participation in a Jr. Ranger Program, nature / park scavenger hunts, clean-up events and anything in between. They can require as few or as many staff as you have available.

You can now register your event and download promotional tools at the National Park Trust website: https://kidstoparks.parktrust.org/

Registration link: https://kidstoparks.parktrust.org/register-an-event/

When your event is done - let us know how it went. At the end of May, we'll send out a request for your Kids to Parks Details (# of partners, # attendees, summary of what happened).

Remember - If any 4th graders attend, they have the added incentive of earning their Every Kid Outdoors Pass: https://everykidoutdoors.gov/index .htm
