ROCK SPRINGS — The Wyoming State Parks and Cultural Resources (SPCR) and the Wyoming Department of Family Services (DFS) partnered on a new Backpack Program to inspire foster families throughout Wyoming to explore the outdoors.

A total of 30 day-use park passes have been delivered to DFS offices around the state and are available for foster families to check out for a week at a time. These passes allow everyone in a vehicle to access a state park or historic site in the area. The day-use passes are part of a foster family kit that includes an ‘Adventure Backpack’ containing maps, brochures, outdoor activity supplies, tools, and resources to make outdoor adventures more accessible and enjoyable for the family. The Rock Springs DFS office currently has one of these backpacks.
