With advance planning, a park ranger can work with you during your field trip. These programs are free as long as you have applied for a fee waiver. Reservations are required for ranger-led programs. 

Ranger-guided activities are hands-on, interactive activities. They are generally limited to groups of no more than 25 students. If you are bringing a larger group on your field trip, your group will have to be separated into smaller sections and each of the sections can be rotated through the ranger-guided program.

Ranger-guided activities include:

• Cannoneers, To Your Post -- Students reenact the historic process of loading and firing Civil War cannons.
• Flags That Talk -- Students use flags to relay messages in code the way soldiers sent information during the Civil War.
• Strike a Blow for Freedom -- Students take on roles in this skit that dramatizes the complexity of life for ex-slaves as they become soldiers in the Union Army.
• Name That Island -- In this hands-on activity, students will assemble an over-sized puzzle of the islands surrounding Fort Pulaski. Students will label the islands and will trace the route of the Union forces as they brought cannons and supplies to subdue Fort Pulaski.
