Every Kid Outdoors Program

Are you a fourth-grade student? If so, you and your family get free access to hundreds of parks, lands, and waters for an entire year, including Olympic National Park. To obtain a pass, fourth grade students can visit the bilingual Every Kid Outdoors website, participate in a short educational activity, and then download a paper voucher to print and bring with them to visit the parks. With the fourth-grader, the pass admits all children under 16 and all adults in up to one passenger vehicle. Commercial vehicles can't use a pass to get in and the pass does not cover camping and activity fees. Be sure to visit Every Kid Outdoors and print your pass before you arrive.

How Your Fees Help the Park


The fees you pay when visiting Olympic make a difference. Under the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, Olympic keeps 80 percent of all fees collected and uses that money to improve visitor services and fund critical deferred maintenance projects in the park such as:

  • Maintain and rehabilitate hiking trails
  • Maintain and repair campgrounds, buildings, and picnic areas
  • Maintain and repair park roads and parking areas
  • Improve park accessibility for people with disabilities
  • Provide unique interpretive programs
  • Support and maintain museum exhibits
