Fourteen thousand fourth graders in South Dakota will get a special taste of summer freedom through the Game, Fish and Parks’ “Go Forth” program.
Presented in partnership with the state Department of Health, the program distributes free one day entrance passes to any state park or recreation area to every fourth grade student in South Dakota. The passes allow entrance the students and their families and also includes a free equipment rental– kayak, canoe, paddleboat, paddleboard or bicycle. Students who are unable to visit a park can use their pass for a free one-year subscription to GFP’s Conservation Digest magazine.
The passes were distributed to all public and private schools last month (March 2021). The passes are valid until Dec. 31, 2021, and the fourth grade student must be present for the pass to be valid. Families may also turn in the day-pass for a discount off an annual pass.
