For Teachers

Our Mission

To provide students and teachers of all ages curriculum-based educational opportunities that allow participants to develop deep connections with the natural and cultural resources at Oregon Caves. By doing so, the hope is to instill an appreciation of our public lands and to promote life-long stewardship towards all global environments.

About Our Program

Most of the curriculum-based programs offer opportunities for a field trip and when possible, a Park Ranger classroom visit. These programs are available free for verified school groups that are utilizing the Monument's resources to extend their district or state curriculum, but not for recreation purposes. We hope you will take advantage of the teaching (and learning) opportunities found here at your Oregon Caves National Monument. Thanks for your involvement and input.

Curriculum-Based Education Programs

Grades 3-5: Geology: Our Changing World

Grades 6-8: Watersheds: through the Mountain to the Valley

Grades 3-8: Teacher's Companion Guide to the Videos (virtual field trip)
