We have partnered with the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands to provide free Maine State Park Passes for children through their primary care provider’s office.
Nearly 100 physician practices are participating in the program, which provides a free day pass to any child who comes in for an office visit. The pass is good at any of Maine’s 48 state parks and historic sites, with the exception of Baxter State Park.
Passes are valid through December 2012.
A nationally recognized childhood obesity prevention program, Let’s Go! strives to increase physical activity and healthy eating for children.
“There’s no better place to be active than the Maine outdoors,” says Victoria Rogers, MD, Let’s Go! program director. “We hope this program encourages kids and families to explore the incredible resources we have in the state.”
“We want more kids to get out and see how much fun they can have in the outdoors, from swimming, hiking, and nature exploration in the summer, to cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter” says Will Harris, Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands director. “These youngsters can experience all that fun at our Maine state park and historic sites. We hope to build the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts.”
