Healthy Kids Outdoors Act of 2015 Authorizes the Department of the Interior to issue an eligible entity a cooperative agreement for each state for the development, implementation, and updating of a five-year Healthy Kids Outdoors State Strategy designed to encourage people in the United States (especially children, youth, and families) to be physically active outdoors. Requires an entity that receives funding to: (1) update the State Strategy at least once every five years, and (2) provide a 25% match through in-kind contributions or cash.
