Waivers of entrance and/or camping fees are available for educational groups, provided certain criteria are met. Applicants requesting entrance fee waivers must submit the following documentation:
- Official recognition as an educational institution. A letter from a federal, state, or local government body is sufficient. Current documentation of IRS or similar state tax exempt status also qualifies. Other groups officially recognized by educational institutions for providing credit hours based on courses of instruction may qualify. Submit appropriate documentation. Accreditation is not required for a fee waiver.
- A statement describing what the educational purpose of the visit is and how it relates to the resources of the park.
Entrance fee waivers are granted on the above two criteria. Camping fee waivers must meet a third requirement: they are granted only if camping in a National Park Service campground is directly related to and required for completing the educational purpose of your trip. Camping fees cannot be waived solely because an overnight stay is required. As a result, camping fee waivers are rarely granted.
Send all fee waiver requests to the , c/o the fee manager. For more information, contact the fee manager.
Groups planning science education activities during their visits must adhere to specific rules governing such activities.
