Free Ranger Visits from the National Park in Your Backyard!

Park Rangers bring the park to your students with a lively, hands-on program in your school.

Workshop-style, interactive school programs are generally 45 minutes to 1 hour for a class of up to 30 students. We can adapt many programs to assembly-style presentations.

All programs are aligned with Georgia Standards of Excellence as listed below. We work with teachers and administrators to ensure programs meet their teaching goals and the needs of all learners!
