In-Park School Programs

Education programs in the park provide students with the opportunity to explore concepts taught in the classroom in a natural or historical setting.

There is no charge for the programs, but reservations are required and accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Some programs are seasonally available due to the type of program and weather conditions.

Programs are also currently limited due to Covid-19 restrictions. Please contact the park for availability.
