Curriculum-Based Programs - Fifth Grade
The education staff offers three different day programs for fifth-grade students, in addition to the residential Schoodic Education Adventure program:

Island Life (Fall)
Embark on a sea voyage to the Islesford Historical Museum on Little Cranberry Island. Along the way we will find out how early explorers navigated the waters. At the museum, students will learn about island residents and their lives during the early part of our country’s history. Cost: $10 per person. Financial assistance from Eastern National, the bookstore partner of the park, may be available if needed; contact the education office for details. Maximum number of passengers is 37, including adults.

Where in the World Is Tuzigoot? (Spring)
Explore the history and mission of our country’s diverse National Park System in this 90-minute classroom presentation that engages students through small group investigations.

Shoreline Discovery (Spring)
Who lives in the mudflats? What causes the tides? How are animals and plants adapted to life in a tidepool? How does the forest survive near the sea? Discover the answers to these and other coastal questions.
