Tumacácori National Historical Park
Plan A Field Trip
 

Programs for schools at the Park include living history presentations, tours, self-guided activities, the Junior Ranger Photo Hunt, and river walks and activities. The nearby Santa Cruz River is a great place to introduce your students to a desert riparian  ecosystem.  Opportunities exist for tours, river activities, and research.

 
At local schools (Santa Cruz County and Green Valley area), Rangers and Volunteers offer a Padre Kino Puppet Show, a slide show about "The Santa Cruz River its People, and Environment," and the "Kino-O'odham Encounter" - a classroom play in which students, in costume, reenact the historic meeting between Father Kino and the O'odham Indians in 1691.
