Background At the very root of the park service mission are the values of stewardship and service. From the very beginning, these two values have been the guiding principles of the South Carolina State Park Service. The park service members serve as responsible stewards of the diverse natural and cultural resources entrusted to the South Carolina State Park Service, and they provide quality customer service to their customers. One of the many things South Carolina State Parks pride themselves on is the rich history and exciting educational opportunities found throughout the parks. Through guided historical tours, hands-on learning and beautiful outdoor scenery, South Carolina’s state parks offer a variety of exciting ways to learn outside the classroom. The All Park Passport provides unlimited entry to all South Carolina state parks for everyone in the pass holder's vehicle. The hangtag pass is valid for one year from the date of purchase and can be transferred from one vehicle to another. The All Park Passport also comes with the following value-added benefits: Free admission to regularly scheduled historic home tours at Redcliffe, Rose Hill and Hampton plantations (maximum four people per visit) Free admission to the historic lighthouse at Hunting Island State Park (maximum four people per visit) Free admission to the historic Atalaya castle at Huntington Beach State Park (maximum four people per visit) The South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism (SCPRT) is seeking bids for the printing and delivery of Park Passport Hang Tags as needed complying with the included specifications.
