RANGER-VISIT-TO-CLASSROOM PROGRAMS

Would you like a Grand Canyon National Park ranger to visit your classroom?

During the months of January and February our staff travels throughout the state of Arizona, as well as into southern Utah and the Las Vegas area, conducting educational classroom activities and group assemblies. Although our classroom activities are geared towards classes that are registered for our field trip programs, we will visit your school regardless of whether you are coming on field trip to Grand Canyon or not. It is also possible for the ranger to conduct a school wide assembly focused on Endangered Species or the role of National Parks.

PLANTS IN THE GRAND CANON  

Did You Know?
