The 13th annual Kids to Parks Day is Saturday, May 20, 2023. As a part of the celebration, National Park Trust is pleased to once again offer the Kids to Parks Day School Grants Program. Title I, pre-K through 12 classrooms in the U.S and its territories are eligible to apply for grants for distance learning experiences or grants for in-park experiences.  Applicants are responsible for meeting all school and park COVID guidelines and regulations. Funding can be used towards program fees, transportation costs, hands-on materials for remote learning activities, stewardship supplies, and any other materials needed for a robust learning experience.

This program is designed to be student-driven, and student-teacher collaboration is a must. All applications must include a stewardship element and a park-themed educational component that focuses on either outdoor recreation and healthy lifestyles, environmental education/science, or history.

Requirements:

1. Each application should include a park-themed educational component that focuses on either outdoor recreation and healthy lifestyles, environmental education/science, or history. NOTE: this may be done through an in-park field trip or a distance learning experience.
2. Each application should also include a park stewardship element. This can be an activity or an educational lesson done at a park or at school.
