四年级学生免费进2000多处联邦公园土地：Every Kid Outdoors通行证这样领，能用到明年8月31日
家里有四年级学生的家庭，现在就能免费领一张管一整年的通行证。美国国家公园管理局介绍，Every Kid Outdoors 项目让全美四年级学生和家人免费进入2000多处联邦土地和水域，本学年这一期从2026年9月1日开始，到2027年8月31日结束，国家公园、国家森林、野生动物保护区等公共土地都在里面。
领证不用花钱，也不用排队申请。孩子先在项目的双语官方网站上完成一个简短的户外学习活动，就能下载一张纸质凭证，打印出来随身带；也可以选择把实体通行证寄到家，或者领取新推出的数字版通行证。出门时带上凭证和孩子本人，就能使用。
这张证是给孩子用的，沾光的是全家。官方说，四年级学生可以带着家人和朋友一起免费去玩满一整年，一辆车的人都可以跟着进。住在美国任何地方，家附近两小时车程内基本都有一处纳入项目的地点，不必非去热门国家公园。项目选四年级，是因为研究显示，9到11岁的孩子开始认识周围的世界，更容易和自然、历史连上。
出发前有一件事要先做。官方提醒，网站上列出的地点不是每一处都接受纸质凭证，如果拿不准，先请大人打电话向要去的地点确认，再安排行程。通行证只管入门这一项，露营、导览这类其他费用不在里面。这项福利每年都有，当年的四年级学生领当年的证，家里有更小的孩子，到他上四年级那年再领。

Free Entry to 2,000+ Federal Lands for Fourth Graders: How to Get the Every Kid Outdoors Pass, Valid Through August 31
Families with a fourth grader can now claim a free pass that lasts a full year. According to the National Park Service, the Every Kid Outdoors program gives U.S. fourth graders and their families free access to more than 2,000 federal lands and waters. This school year's pass runs from September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, and covers public lands including national parks, national forests and wildlife refuges.
There is no fee and no application queue. The student first completes a short educational activity on the program's bilingual official website, then downloads a paper voucher to print and carry. Families can also have a physical pass mailed to them, or get the new digital version of the pass. The student brings the voucher, and the pass is ready to use.
The pass belongs to the child, but the whole family benefits. Officials say a fourth grader can bring family and friends along free for an entire year, including a car full of passengers. Wherever a family lives in the United States, an included site is generally within a two-hour drive, so there is no need to head only for the famous national parks. Fourth graders were chosen because research shows that children ages nine to 11 are beginning to learn about the world around them and are more likely to connect with nature and history.
One step comes before any trip. The program warns that not every site listed on its website accepts the paper pass. If a family is unsure, an adult should call the destination ahead to confirm before making the trip. The pass covers entry only; costs such as camping and guided tours are not included. The benefit returns every year for that year's fourth graders, so a younger sibling can claim a pass in the year they reach fourth grade.
