School Programs

Connect your class with nature and history in our local County Parks or online. We offer a variety of standards-based field trip programs for grades K-6+.

Programs are FREE but requests must be made at least 3 weeks in advance. Registration opens August 1st.

Programs are led by interpretive staff and supported by volunteer docents. We are always looking for enthusiastic school program docents. If you're interested in becoming a docent, please visit our Docent Recruitment page to learn more and sign up.

For more information on volunteering in general, check out our Volunteer Opportunities.
