For Teachers

Let the Adventure Begin!

For over 25 years, Saguaro National Park has been engaging students in a variety of natural and cultural curriculum-based educational opportunities. Either in our guided field trips or park ranger visits to classrooms, students of the southwest can experience the beauty and diversity of the Sonoran Desert by exploring the National Park in their own backyard.

COVID-19 Updates

Public programs are canceled in accordance with CDC and local public health guidance in response to the COVID-19 virus outbreak.

We will be following the CDC and current local guidance on schools returning to in-person learning and the permission of field trips or classroom visits. Once field trips and classroom visits are allowed, we will update our strategies to keep your students and our staff safe in accordance to the guidelines provided by the CDC and local public health guidance at that time. Until then we will be offering virtual visits.
