![]() NPS/Jacob W. Frank Scheduling A Field TripRanger Guided Program availability is first-come, first-served. Programs fill quickly. Group size is generally limited to 45 students, but may be fewer on days when ranger staffing or space is limited. Group size is kept small enough for everyone's enjoyment and educational value, usually about 15 students per ranger. Due to increasing demands for programs, schools are restricted to one ranger-led program per class per year to allow more children to participate. Educators are also encouraged to bring students to the park on their own. Please see our self-guided page for information about applying for an academic fee waiver, safety, and tips for visiting the park with school groups. ReservationsWe are now accepting reservations for fall 2023 field trips. If you would like to register, send us an email and we will send you a link to reserve a date. Reservations for winter and spring field trips will begin on Monday, September 18th. Travel GrantsAfter your ranger-led field trip is scheduled and confirmed, you will recieve information about how to apply for a travel grant. Travel grants are available for schools with restricted transportation budgets thanks to donations to the Glacier National Park Conservancy. Please email or call our education office at 406-888-7899 if you have questions. Guidelines For Your TripBefore your group arrives, it is important to be aware of some basic guidelines. Regardless of the season, students and chaperones will have a more enjoyable experience if they are well-equipped for the day.
