Distance Learning

Distance Learning programs are webcam-based programs where students interact directly with a ranger. These programs are interactive; we use props, videos, pictures, and power point presentations to engage students.

Don't see a program that meets your needs? Just ask! Specialized programs are available on a case-by-case basis.


You must schedule your program at least two weeks in advance. Our calendar fills up fast, so please plan ahead. We cannot schedule your program until we have your Education Program Request Form. email it to e-mail us.
Please let us know the best time for a phone call to confirm the details of your visit.


What to expect
After providing the information listed above, a ranger will work with you to schedule your program and a brief test of the webcam connection. Programs are roughly 30 minutes in length, but we like to have a flexible ending time so we can answer student questions. Most programs have interactive elements where the students will complete an individual or small group activity. Prior to the program, the ranger will let you know what supplies you'll need (blank paper and markers or a printed PDF of a worksheet etc., for example).
