Passport to Fun and TRACK Trails

The National Park Service partners with different organizations for awesome activities to get outdoors and get active. Passport to Your National Parks** **and TRACK Trails are two popular programs to get started exploring the C&O Canal.

Passport to Your National Parks program encourages visitors to visit site locations throughout the Park and learn about the resources the C&O Canal has to offer. Bonus—If you have a passport book (or make your own) you can collect cool stamps for years to come!

The TRACK Trails program encourages getting outside and enjoying the outdoors, is completely free, and gives PRIZES for completing adventures with family and friends! What are you waiting for? Keep scrolling and plan your next outdoor adventure.

Connect with us on social media and share your summer camp adventure by using the hashtags #CanalKidsVJR or #CanalKidActivities.
