Invite a ranger to your classroom!

Ranger-led classroom programs are one hour long interactive sessions designed to enhance your in-class curriculum. Students will get to handle real objects, play games, and ask questions directly to park staff. These programs meet Washington State Standards and are free of charge.

Available seasonally October through mid-November and February through June.
