National Park Foundation and Ball State University Celebrate National Park Week by Connecting 37 Million Viewers in an Electronic Field Trip to Carlsbad Caverns
WASHINGTON, DC.—On Tuesday, April 25th, the National Park Foundation, its Honorary Chair Mrs. Laura Bush, Ball State University, and approximately 37 million children and community members from 49 states and seven countries will make history by participating in the largest-ever simultaneous "visit" to a National Park. In celebration of National Park Week, children from around the world will take part in Ball State's Electronic Field Trip to Carlsbad Caverns National Park complete with in-class experiments, an online panel of experts and an opportunity to "choose your own adventure." Mrs. Bush will participate live from the Charlestown Navy Yard, Boston National Historical Park with twenty-three fourth graders from Warren-Prescott School, National Park Foundation President and CEO Vin Cipolla, Ball State University President Jo Ann Gora, and National Park Service Director Fran Mainella.
"Our Nation's Parks were given to us as a gift with the expectation that we would safeguard them for future generations," said Vin Cipolla, President and CEO of the National Park Foundation. "There is no better way to celebrate National Park Week across the Nation and around the world than connecting our children with our Parks so that they can develop the sense of ownership and pride necessary to become the stewards of these great places."
