Invite a Ranger to your Classroom

A ranger is in a classroom with students seated at desks, one child has their hand raised.

NPS/ GRCA

We offer engaging programs designed to bring the natural and cultural wonders of the park into your classroom. A ranger visit to the classroom is also a great way to prepare students for an upcoming field trip to the park.

Classroom ranger visits are only available to schools within a two-hour drive radius from the park. Please review the list of currently available classroom programs and follow the instructions below to schedule a visit.
