Virginia State Parks invites educators to move their classrooms to the outdoors this school year, allowing students to explore nature through a variety of hands-on educational programs.

With 43 parks across the commonwealth, Virginia’s state parks are uniquely positioned to bring science, history and environmental education to life in real-world settings. Park rangers guide students through interactive programs that complement the Virginia Standards of Learning. 

“We want every student in Virginia, whether in traditional classrooms or learning from home, to have access to enriching outdoor educational experiences,” said Chief of Education and Interpretation Katie Shepard. “Our parks are living classrooms where students can explore ecosystems, discover wildlife and engage with the state’s rich cultural history.” 

Field trip opportunities range from guided nature hikes and fossil hunts to reenactments of colonial life and conservation projects.  

Homeschool families can take advantage of customizable group programs, flexible scheduling and themed homeschool days held throughout the year. 

Teachers, homeschool groups and educational coordinators are encouraged to visit www.virginiastateparks.gov/find-a-park and contact a park near them to discuss field trip options and specific learning goals.
