The National Parks Adventure:
​Crossing America

The National Parks Adventure: Crossing America 

“Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.”- John Muir

These words written by John Muir are what inspires us, as Expeditions in Education announces our newest journey: 
“The National Parks Adventure: Crossing America” 

This venture, for 4th Graders around the country, will virtually visit National Parks all over the United States. Students will be able to create a scrapbook of their journey, assist the parks in meeting UN Global Goals, and make connections with other students. 

Each month there will be LIVE, virtual events. These events will take a closer look inside different parks as we learn more about what makes each park so unique. If you can’t join the live events, they will be archived for on-demand streaming. 

There will also be LIVE FAMILY NIGHT virtual events where families can gather together to learn, solve problems, and make connections. 

We are grateful for the National Park Foundation’s support and collaboration with Expeditions in Education on this one of a kind project. We hope to inspire EVERY 4th grader to connect with, and learn more about the world around them by discovering the exceptional beauty of United States National Parks and learning from the rangers, volunteers and other dedicated park staff.

So what are you waiting for? Pack your bags and register today to join our adventure as we “Cross America” ...together.
