Students get elective credit for outdoor activities

Beginning July 1, 2025, students in Nevada junior high, middle, and high schools may earn elective credit for approved outdoor recreation. The activity must be outside school hours, take significant time outdoors, and teach outdoor skills like hiking, archery, trail building, habitat restoration, plant and animal ID, or bird watching. The credit counts only as an elective and can help meet credits for promotion to high school or graduation. Local school boards or charter leaders set the maximum credits, the application steps, and how to get parent or guardian consent. Schools do not have to offer, run, or pay for these activities.
