Making Candles during Class of Discovery
Join us for hands-on history, nature up close and learning fun!
Come explore our outdoor classroom. Based at Fort Clatsop, the Education Program at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park connects children and adults to their National Park and to the stories that have shaped the Columbia Pacific region. The Education Program offers a variety of experiences that take students of all ages back in time to discover what life was like for the Lewis and Clark Expedition during their 1805-06 winter stay at Fort Clatsop. With nature trails, forest and river exploration, the Education Program connects your students to the outdoors and brings classroom lessons to life.
The guided education season runs from Oct. 1 to Dec. 1, and March 1 to June 4. Self-guided groups are invited year-round, with reservations.
Based at Fort Clatsop and in partnership with the Lewis & Clark National Park Association, the Education Program connects children and adults to their National Park and to the stories that have shaped the Columbia Pacific Region. Through guided and self-guided programs, we make cultural and natural history come alive. Questions? Please call the Park Education Program at (503) 861-4422.
