Mountain House Joins Forces with Parks4Kids to Help Kids Experience National Parks

Albany, Ore. – May 17, 2016 – Mountain House, the market leading brand of dried camping meals in North America, has partnered with the Outdoor Foundation and Outdoor Industry Association’s Parks4Kids campaign to connect young people to national parks. Parks4Kids provides micro-grants to teachers, schools and nonprofits to help the 4^th graders experience the beauty of America’s national parks.

For every $10 donated, 1 child will be able to enjoy a national park.

“With all the technological distractions available to children these days, it can be hard for young people to appreciate and comprehend the importance of our natural surroundings,” says Reiner Bohlen, Marketing Manager at Mountain House. “We’re excited to be partnering with Parks4Kids and supporting their cause during the National Park Centennial and hope that our efforts will help create a new generation of adventurers.”
