We are pleased to offer "Special Request" ranger-led programs to educational, and non-educational groups. Due to high demand, requests must be submitted through the Program Registration Form (below) at least four weeks in advance.
Though we do our best to accommodate requests, unfortunately not every request can be met.
What is a special program? Activities may include a ranger-guided hike, wet walk, or talk. Review the program request form (link above) to view all options.
When are they available? Due to weather conditions, programs are best conducted from November to May.
Cost: There is no charge for programs; however there is a park entrance fee. Educational or scientific institutions are encouraged to apply for an entrance fee waiver by visiting the Fees & Passes page.
Educational Materials: Prepare students before-hand by visiting the Everglades' curriculum page. Here you will find lesson plans and activities for multiple age groups.
How do I apply? Use the link above to request a special program for your group. Please keep in mind that these programs are subject to ranger availability and MUST be requested at least 4-weeks in advance.
If you are an experienced teacher, or have enjoyed a special program in the past, consider leading your own field trip.
