Oxon Cove Park & Oxon Hill Farm - For Teachers (U.S. National Park Service)

Educators!

Oxon Cove Park offers a variety of programs that are both educational and fun. Your group can participate in either our education programs or our weekly programs.

Our education programs are standards-based and use hands-on activities to encourage critical thinking and inquiry. Pre-site and post-site activities are available to enhance your students on-site learning. These programs have a maximum group size of 25 students and are offered October through May.
