Classroom at Crater Lake is the field trip that students want. Participating teachers love how students engage with their natural surroundings, learn important science concepts, interact with park rangers, exercise, and make great memories. Our field trips are free of cost, hands-on, and aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards.

Due to staff vacancies, we are unable to offer in person field trips at this time. We hope to be back up and running again by late Spring/early Summer 2025 season. Check this page for updates.
