Thank you for the article on the Maine State Parks Passport program in Thursday’s MaineToday Magazine (“A passport to family adventures,” Page M23)!

My sons and I discovered this program earlier this summer while visiting the Blockhouse in Fort Kent.

Since then, it has become a competitive mission to collect stamps; one boy sneaked off to Crescent Beach with his grandparents expressly to stamp an extra page! Thursday, we went for a perfect morning hike on Bradbury Mountain.

This program is a brilliant way to engage kids in our state’s history, beauty and conservation efforts. I’d also like to let readers know that many local libraries have state park passes available for cardholders. Check it out!
