Denali Days -- In the Park
A Park Ranger will help your class learn more about Denali while you are on a field trip to the Northside. These programs are offered to K-6 students who have had a "Denali Days" Park Ranger in their classroom and are from the following local Alaskan communities: Anderson, Cantwell, Healy, Nenana, Nikolai, McGrath, Talkeetna, Tanana, Trapper Creek, and Willow. Homeschooled students from these communities may also be eligible. Programs are typically two-hours in length and focus on biological or physical sciences. Visits generally occur in March-April.
