Regional Parks School Programs

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Field trips in regional parks provide hands-on, place-based education to heighten your students’ sensory awareness. Increase your students’ critical inquiry skills, while exploring and having fun connecting to nature. Your students will experience the physical and mental health benefits of spending time in inspiring natural spaces.

From towering forests to tranquil ponds and beautiful beaches, regional parks are fun and exciting classrooms. Our programs are curriculum focused. Let us know your learning objectives.

Regional Parks has a team of staff ready to help you explore regional parks. If you have any questions, email Group.Programs@metrovancouver.org.​
