Using Park Resources

to Teach, Inspire

and Motivate Students

 

Last year thousands of students went inside our Coast Miwok roundhouse, toured the historic Point Reyes lighthouse, and watched elephant seals, migratory gray whales, and creek critters in their natural habitats. Visiting Point Reyes National Seashore with your class is easy and free of charge. We began taking reservation requests for ranger-led education programs for the 2008-2009 school year on August 4, 2008, and reservations are filling quickly, so contact Mary Beth Shenton as soon as you know your class schedule. Check out our full list of ranger-led education programs. Use our Directions page to navigate to Point Reyes.

If you want to bring a group out for a self-guiding experience, please call the park as soon as possible @ 415-464-5139. Groups will be limited depending on site carrying capacity and previous reservations.
