Curriculum Based Education Programs at Rock Creek Park

Helping to extend the classroom into the great outdoors!

Touch live animals. Look up at the stars. Hike down to a stream. All these experiences and many others have been incorporated into curriculum based programs now available at the Nature Center.

Visit a historic flour mill, a 17th century colonial home or a civil war fort.

For more information about the programs, or to schedule a program for your school or group, please call (202) 895-6070 at least two weeks in advance.
