For Middle Schools:

The Parks As Laboratories (PAL) program, which was formerly offered to grade 6-8 students, is on hiatus as the National Park Service works with teachers and others to improve the program. We will not be scheduling programs for the 2010-2011 school year until the new program is in place (possibly in the spring of 2011). If you would like to be placed on a waiting list of teachers we will contact at that time, please e-mail us at the below link and provide your name, school, grade(s) you teach, e-mail address, and phone number. Thank you for your patience as we work to improve our educational programs and your students' park experience!
