Bozeman, Montana, has a kids-only parade the first Saturday of December when the town holds their Christmas stroll. L is for learning more about the ins and outs of Greater Yellowstone. If your family is planning to be in Cody for a while, check into multi-day workshops offered July through August. Each year, kids learn to paint with Western artists and write songs with cowboy songsters. In the past, they've also learned to powwow dance with Native Americans and tool leather with a saddlemaker.
Nonresidential programs are also available for kids and adults.
Last but not least, Yellowstone and Grand Teton parks are home to ranger-naturalist programs that can teach you about elk, bears and bison, geysers and forest fires and how the mountains were formed. Inside you'll find descriptions of available programs. You can also check the bulletin board at your campground for a schedule of evening campfire talks. Often the evening programs are geared for children and adults.
