Education Programs
The National Park Service is proud to present a variety of educational programs, kits, and materials to assist teachers and youth leaders in meeting educational standards and curriculum needs in the Anchorage community. The National Park Service represents a local and statewide resource for teaching concepts in science, geography, mathematics, language arts, art, life skills, employability and more. We look forward to being a partner in your educational adventures!

The Alaska Public Lands Information Center is available for class field trips. Each trip can be tailored to your needs, but commonly includes a fun and educational introduction to public lands, a film about Alaska's coolest animals, and a scavenger hunt within the center.
