Prince William Forest Park Education Programs Prince William Forest Park Education Programs Rangers at Prince William Forest Park are committed to working with educators to provide high quality curriculum-based education programs both in the schools and at the park. On our web site you will find a table for each grade, from K to 6, that gives the SOL number and objectives as well as a list of programs that cover portions of the objectives. Programs are identified as being presented At School, At School or Park, or At Park.
Many programs have pre-visit and post visit activities that teachers conduct.

When four or five classes from the same school are staying at a cabin camp or arrive at the park at the same time for a field trip, we seldom have the staff to work with a large number of students. We need the help of teachers to lead some of the programs, hence many different programs are listed for the teachers and rangers to choose from. We prefer to use a team approach with rangers and teachers conducting simultaneous programs.
