EKO Fourth Grade Pass - 2024-2025 School Year!
In preparation for the fast-approaching start to the 2024-2025 school year, attached are instructions on how to create an Every Kid Outdoors account and how to log the vouchers on the EKO site. District POCs have received instructions on how to order their passes needed for the upcoming year. If you are a District POC and have not received this information, please let me know. Further information on the EKO program can be found on the gateway here: https://corpslak es.erdc.dren.mil/employees/ekip/ekip.cfm

The EKO program was developed to help ensure every child in the United States would have the opportunity to visit and enjoy public lands and waters, fostering the next generation of stewards. HQUSACE leadership considers this program vitally important to USACE’s missions, and our commanders regularly boast of USACE’s leading role in issuing passes when briefing Congressional members each year. Thank you to all those projects listed in the 2022-2023 EKO Report, for your hard work and dedication ensuring that this opportunity is shared to a wide audience. Proctor Lake led USACE with 5,892 EKO passes distributed this last school year with 13,157 passes distributed agency wide. Let's put our ranger hats together and try to beat that total in the 2024-2025 school year!

Please assist me in disseminating this information to our NRM team members out in the field. I am available if you have any further questions on the EKO program.
