Minnesota's National Parks: Educator Workshop

Join the education teams from Wild Rivers Conservancy, Mississippi Park Connection, and Voyageurs Conservancy to learn more about how you can connect your students to these unique and wild places in our state!

This interactive workshop will introduce you to the varied landscapes of the National Park Service stewards in our state. We’ll review our standards-aligned programs and field trips, and network with other like-minded teachers. Finish out the day with a snowshoe hike led by NPS Park Rangers.

We will take a break for dinner on your own, then join back together, if you choose, for a Park After Dark program led by National Park Service Rangers and Voyageurs Conservancy education staff. You will experience firsthand the wonder of the winter skies in Voyageurs National Park with their telescope.

4 CEU’s available
