This is what you need to do for a successful (and fun) visit to the park:

  1. Decide which park site you wish to visit
  2. Make a reservation
  3. Return the confirmation letter (sent once you make a reservation)
  4. Review the curriculum materials
  5. Prepare your students by using the pre-visit curriculum materials
  6. Print a Visitor Guide for the site you are visiting (Fort Caroline or Kingsley Plantation) - these are pdf files, please be patient
  7. Be prepared for the conditions (see Tips for Teachers)
  8. Check in at the Visitor Center when your group arrives at the park
  9. Use the post-visit materials when you are back in the classroom
