Have you always wanted to visit Big Bend, but thought the park was too far away? Now you can learn about Big Bend and spend some time with a park ranger - virtually! We offer free, interactive distance learning programs for all ages. During a program, students will interact with a ranger, ask and answer questions, and learn more about the park's natural and human history. Programs are offered year-round. All you need to participate is a computer with high-speed internet, webcam, speakers, and maybe a projector screen or large monitor for larger groups so that everyone can watch together. We will work with you before the program to ensure the connection is successful. All programs are free of charge. What a great way to introduce your group to the wonders of Big Bend!
