Historic Jamestowne, a part of Colonial National Historical Park (NHP), has been providing educational programs for many years. Focusing on Virginia’s Standards of Learning (SOLs) requirements for grades K-12, Historic Jamestowne offers both indoor classroom style programs and educational walking tours of the Historic Site.

Reservations for educational programs are available weekdays from October through May. There is a $30.00 fee for each program. 

Groups unable to partake in a ranger-led program can explore the historic site on their own. Although Colonial NHP and Historic Jamestowne are National Fee Areas, educational institutions are eligible for a waiver of this entrance fee.

Historic Jamestown is a "leave no trace" trash free area. All groups are expected to carry out what trash they bring in. It is suggested that schools groups bring trash bags with them so they can carry out their trash.
