Teacher Workshops
Park staff introduce teachers to two National Park Service learning tools for the classroom, Passamaquoddy History and Culture: A Teaching Kit for Grades 5-8 and the Saint Croix 1604 Interpretive Trunk, through teacher workshops.

If you'd like to request a workshop to be held in your location, please contact us. Minimum numbers may vary and can be discussed at the time you reserve your workshop.
