Although I’ve been to Alaska twice, I’ve yet to visit Denali National Park. I hope that some day soon I can visit it with my daughters. In the meantime there are some cool resources for learning about Denali on the National Parks Service’s website. One of those resources is a free distance learning program offered to schools in the United States.
The National Parks Service offers the Denali Distance Learning Program from November 1st through March 31st. Through this program you can request a live, virtual presentation by Denali staff for your students. There are six programs/ presentations available for elementary school classrooms and one available for high school classrooms.
The elementary school programs are:
- At Home in Denali’s Biome
- Denali’s Dinosaurs
- What Would You Do: Winter Wildlife
- Lessons from the Land
- The Science of Sled Dogs
- Ask an Alaskan – Living and Working in Denali
The program for high school classrooms is called Why Wilderness?
You can learn more about all of Denali’s Distance Learning programs right here and request a presentation on that same page.
According to this recent Instagram post on the Denali National Park account, there is still some availability for presentations this year, but space is filling up fast.
