Despite its ominous name, Death Valley National Park is filled with life and extraordinary human experiences. 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!
Educators have two options for bringing students for a visit to the park. Local students can participate in one of our curriculum-based ranger-guided programs. Teachers may also elect to schedule their own self-guided visit.
