Traveling Trunks

Traveling trunks and kits are an excellent way to enhance your student's understanding of the National Parks, the environment, local history and our area. Bring props and materials that are otherwise hard to find to your classroom! There are ideas for stand-alone activities as well as materials that can supplement your own classroom curriculum ideas. Trunks feature reproduction and original artifacts, maps, posters, and resource materials such as books, videos, CDs and DVDs.

Each kit is packaged for shipment. The park will ship the trunk or kit to your school via UPS. You ship the trunk back to the park on the last date indicated via UPS at your expense. You may pick up and return the trunk in person if you wish to save expenses.

The following trunks and kits are available for free loan to schools in Washington and Idaho within a 150 mile radius of Lake Roosevelt NRA. Others may contact the park for reservation information and availability.

Download information and reservation forms here or contact our education specialist for more information or to reserve a trunk.

Did You Know?

The mock orange grows prolifically at Fort Spokane and has a fragrant blossom similar to the orange blossom.

Fort Spokane (1880 - 1898) was established in part to protect the rights of local Native American tribes from newly arrived settlers who wanted to settle, poach, or illegally mine on the Spokane and Colville Reservations.
