TEACHER WORKSHOPS

To help prepare teachers for our programs, we offer two workshops in the fall. The workshops cover pre- and post-visit activities and a walk-through of the programs. The cost of registration for the workshop is $50.00 per person. Two nights of lodging are provided and the park entrance fee is waived for workshop participants. Teachers receive a letter confirming they have completed 14 hours of training.  Although attendance at a workshop is not required to bring your students to Grand Canyon on a field trip, we strongly recommend participating as your students will benefit from your increased knowledge and preparedness.
