Joshua Tree National Park invites you and your students to attend ranger-led education programs. Most in-class programs are 45 minutes long. Programs given in the park last from one and one-half to four hours.
There is no charge for education programs, but reservations are required and should be made well in advance, especially for spring programs. Maximum group size will depend on the program and the number of park staff available. Most in-park programs are designed to accommodate two classes (60 students). Adult chaperones are required: one for each group of eight to 10 students. Some programs require four adults per class.
Educational groups are encouraged to use the park for their own programs. Entrance-fee waivers are available for educational visits but not for recreational visits. To request an educational fee waiver for groups through grade twelve, return the Fee Waiver Request Form and allow a minimum of two weeks for us to process your request. Camping fees are not included in the entrance fee waiver.
Note: Colleges and universities may request educational and scientific-study entrance-fee waivers by calling the fee supervisor at 760-367-5549.
