Our mission is to encourage educators to engage students in thoughtful, real-world problems that challenge our world today using the National Parks and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as inspiration.

We are bringing educators from around the country together to connect, collaborate, and create content. These four or five-day events will happen each summer at different National Park Sites. In 2022, we will host 8 events. |
Niobrara National Scenic River May 28-June 1
Bryce Canyon National Park June 5-9
New River Gorge National Park and Preserve June 18-22
National Mall and Memorials Park June 25-29
Acadia National Park July 17-20
Mammoth Cave National Park July 24-27
Crater Lake August 7-10
Great Smoky Mountains August 15-19
Each camp includes a look at a Global Goal Challenge that the park faces. Educators (PK-12) will connect, collaborate and create content to share with their students, school, and community. We are looking for educators who are eager to make a difference in the world through outdoor education. We know that outdoor experiences help students increase their understanding of natural and human communities which leads to a sense of place. Students can develop stronger environmental attitudes and have a deeper understanding of civic issues. We want to provide outdoor learning experiences to support educators so they can raise the next generation of responsible citizens who care about each other and the Earth. With STEAM in the PARK, we know that learning outside the classroom can help teachers create enthusiasm for learning, provide a real-world context and expose students to a range of STEM careers. Our goal is to integrate outdoor learning via the National Parks with Real World Problems utilizing tools such as the UN Global Goals.
All chosen campers must show proof of vaccinations. You will be asked to confirm this during the registration process in February 2022. We are an alcohol-free and drug-free camp. Campers will be notified by February 15th of their acceptance. Thank you for applying to STEAM in the PARK 2022.
