More information will be available soon, but concessioners across the nation are embracing Every Kid in a Park and its efforts to help every 4th graders discovering learning and fun in the outdoors.  Concessioner efforts will include support for school visits, for visits by 4th graders with their families and visits to parks by youth organizations with Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.  To demonstrate the broad support for this program, note that the recently released Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Modernization Act draft in the House included a provision making this White House initiative permanent.
