For Teachers

Ranger with student

NPS/Congaree National Park

Congaree's "classroom" is filled with a wide variety of potential lessons, for both teachers and students, about the natural and cultural history of the area. We invite you and your students to explore the park as an extension of your classroom.

Self-guided and ranger-guided education programs are available. Professional development opportunities also exist, as teachers can participate in the Teacher-Ranger-Teacher program each summer.

If you have questions, would like more information about education programs, or you would like to schedule a program, contact the Chief of Interpretation at 803-647-3969.
