Death Valley National Park’s Education Program enriches lives and inspires learners to a lifetime of stewardship.

What is Death Valley R.O.C.K.S?
This education program is designed to promote children getting out into the world of natural and cultural history! In the fall of 2007, the Death Valley staff decided to try an experiment reaching out to schools in locations where the students might not get an opportunity to come to the park without assistance – financial and academic. Ultimately it is our goal that through experiencing nature and history where it is happening, students will have greater opportunities to learn and become stewards of their heritage.

Why Death Valley National Park?
Despite its ominous name, Death Valley National Park is filled with life and extraordinary human experiences. It is a beautiful place with stories to share with us. We welcome you to share it with us! Like the entire natural world, if treated with respect it is a safe place to spend time and an ideal setting in which to learn.

Death Valley National Park was set aside because of its unique desert environment. It has features that are as individual as your students. In order to appreciate such a place, one must spend time in it. We look forward to working with you and learning together!
