Educators

Every Kid Outdoors is a nationwide program that encourages 4th graders to get outside and visit their federal public lands and waters by offering a free pass their entire 4th grade year. 

The pass allows free admission at sites that charge entrance or standard amenity fees at over 2000 federal lands and waters for a full year beginning September 1 and ending August 31. 

• By participating in the Every Kid Outdoors Program, you can connect with nature and learn about your heritage while exploring millions of acres of federal lands and waters for free.  
   
• Bring your family and friends to check out prehistoric dinosaur tracks, explore ancient sites, hike around a volcano or sit quietly and see what animals you observe in their natural habitat.
   
• Each pass holder is eligible for a free Christmas tree permit as supplies allow.
   
• This pass does not cover expanded fees so please inquire at the location you will be visiting for more information on pass acceptance.
   
• Call your local forest service office for exact details on how the pass applies to your adventure.
