Mountains, deserts, forests, rivers … the choice of where to visit is yours.

WHO – You (a fourth grader from California), your family (up to three adults and other kids) and friends (everyone in your car) can enjoy all sorts of adventures at 19 state parks (including Empire Mine State Historic Park in Grass Valley) during your whole fourth grade year—and the summer, too.
