Education

Wildlife, wildlands, mountains, and snow—Glacier holds adventure for you and your students! Find curriculum and lesson plans specially developed for learning in Glacier.

Come to the park and hike with a ranger during a staff-led field trip. Field trips are offered on both the east and west sides of the park at no cost. A fee waiver will be processed by the park's Education Ranger for passing through the entrance station.

Bring a ranger into your classroom through our
distance learning program. We have five distance learning programs that are available to schools: Ask a Ranger, Bears in Glacier, Disappearing Glaciers, Habitat Adventure, and Making the Mountains.
