PLAN YOUR PARK TRIP

CHOOSE YOUR LOCATION
This is a great time to involve kids in the process.
They can research parks, topics and outdoor programs close to your home or
their school. Search for local (city, county), state, or national parks,
wildlife refuges or nature centers. Many park education programs align with
Next Generation Science standards and Common Core Curriculum. Don’t forget
to consider the season of the year, number of kids, and their age levels
when deciding which park to visit. Some educational park programs are
seasonal.

CONTACT THE PARK’S RANGER OR NATURALIST
The ranger or naturalist can help you set up a program for your group. Some
programs charge a fee per student, so please factor this into your budget.
Most national parks and wildlife refuges are fee-free for school groups.
State parks may have an entrance fee that can be waived.

SELECT A DATE
If you are going with a school group, make sure buses are available and
align with your school calendar. Book your bus well in advance of your trip.

GET READY FOR THE DAY
Complete any pre-assignments or research for the trip.
Make sure your students have the appropriate clothing and footwear.
Submit proper paper work to administrators; get permission slips and photo
waivers signed.
Book your school bus from approved bus companies. Make sure they have the
correct address of the school and the park. Confirm pick up and return time.

POST TRIP
Please consider sharing your photos with National Park Trust. Send them to
Billy Schrack, director of youth programs, at William at parktrust.org

Photos that you send to NPT may be used in our printed or online materials.
They may also be shared with our partners. If a photo release is necessary,
we can provide you with a template. Please also send us student and teacher
reflections about the trip.

Questions? Please call Billy Schrack 301-279-7275 ex.17 or email
