Education

The environmental education program at Wind Cave National Park involves students in structured programs which describe and illuminate park resources and relate them to the broad concepts in natural and physical science, history, language arts, and mathematics.

Wind Cave also offers an on-site educational field trip, distance learning, and reservable cave tours. All programs work to immerse students in science, history and language arts.

We will not be able to offer environmental education programs for the spring of 2027, but look forward to resuming these programs in the future.

For more information please call the park at [phone] or email us.
