Whether you're a classroom teacher, homeschool instructor, club sponsor, or anything in between, Leesylvania State Park is a great place to bring your group for hands-on, outdoor learning.

We offer a variety of ranger-led educational programs designed to help students connect with the natural world in meaningful ways. Program options include guided hikes, animal adaptations, water quality, forest ecology, and more. Programs take place throughout the park and can be tailored to meet your group’s needs.

If a field trip to the park isn’t possible, we also offer free outreach programs where a ranger can present select programs at your school.
