There are numerous opportunities for bringing your students to Glacier National Park.
Ranger guided programs are available in a wide variety of topics and locations. Programs are offered for ages K-12.
Spring Programs: May 1 - June 1
Winter Programs: January (2nd week) - mid March
Fall Programs: mid September - mid October
A limited number of Service Learning and Stewardship field trips are available with our Native Plant Restoration Program in spring, summer, and fall. Groups participating in these field trips work with plant restoration staff to grow native plants or to revegetate an impacted area.
are available for schools with restricted travel budgets. This money has been made possible through donations to the Glacier National Park Fund from the Plum Creek Foundation and Montana-Dakota Utilities. In order to be eligible for a grant, schools must be scheduled for one of our ranger-led, curriculum-based programs or for a service learning project with the native plant program. Grants are awarded first-come, first-served in amounts varying on the distance the bus has to travel to the park.
When ranger-led or staff-led programs are not available, self guided trips are always an option.
Other organizations also run tours and school programs within the park. You may want to contact the Glacier Institute to see if they have a program that would fit your group and date. There are also guided tours available through Sun Tours or through Glacier Park Incorporated.
