Are you seeking a meaningful opportunity to nurture students’ love for the outdoors? Our Take Me to the River (TMTR) field trip series is a great opportunity! Volunteers are needed to assist rangers and staff at four stations: fire-building, orienteering, shelter-building, and the new geology station!

This opportunity requires quite a bit of walking and student engagement (park rangers will lead all stations). The time with students is about 3.5 hours which includes a 20 min lunch break.

Thank you for your interest in K-12 education volunteer opportunities. We do not have any active volunteer opportunities, but check out other ways to volunteer on our main website!
