The most popular ranger-conducted program. This program is offered twice a day on the days the park has ranger availability, once at 9:45 am and once at 12:45 PM. If you have a group larger than 60 students the start and end times are extended.

This program explores what life was like for the "Corps of Discovery" at Fort Clatsop. Groups of students rotate through 30-minute activity sessions coordinated by park staff: Visitor Center "Exhibit Seek and Find", "Plant Walk", and an interactive visit to the fort.

Groups over 60 may have an additional rotation. The visit wraps up with a flint lock muzzle loading demonstration.
