Every Kid in a Park
On January 23, 2018, Jackie Kramer spoke to the York-East Rotary Club about the National Park Service “Every Kid in a Park Program”. This program is administered through the Susquehanna Heritage’s Zimmerman Center at Long Level. The program has targeted school-age children nationwide. Students from the eastern York County school districts and York Academy Regional Charter School in York City have participated in the program which has been very successful. Children are taught the principles of conservation, respect for nature, to explore stream life and learn how the river has inspired folks for generations. In the past two years over 600 4th grade students have participated in the program which is delivered in the spring and/or early fall each year. Anyone interested in the program may obtain more information from the Susquehanna Heritage Center.
