Reserving an Education Program

It is easy to reserve a date and time for your class to visit Fort Vancouver! 

The following steps will help our staff  better facilitate your request. Thank you for your cooperation.

1. Reservations for Group Tours and the Environmental Living Program can be made beginning September 1, 2010. Reservations for Hands-on Programs can be made beginning January 3, 2011. Please call 360-816-6241 for program availability.

2. Please check the Education Program Calendar for availability of dates. You can access the calendar by clicking here. When making a reservation, please allow two weeks for preparation. PLEASE NOTE: Large Group Tours are now FULL, but some Hands-On Programs and Self-Guided Tours are still available. 

3. Once you have tentatively selected an available program and date, please complete the Reservation Form and Request for Fee Waiver if you are interested in having the entrance fee waived. 

NOTE: Fee waivers are available only to bona fide educational groups visiting the fort for curriculum studies. (These forms are available by clicking directly on their names in the preceding sentence.) All requests will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please remember to fill these forms out completely. Missing or incomplete forms may delay scheduling of your program.
