School Programs & Field Trips

Learning comes alive at your East Bay Regional Parks! Have your best day of the year enjoying hands-on learning experiences led by our professional naturalists. Our programs are free to public schools, non-profits, and government agencies from Alameda and Contra Costa counties. There is a cost of $61/hour per naturalist for private schools and organizations from other counties.

Engaging learning experiences are offered on a variety of topic including wildlife, natural science, environment, geology, ecology, climate, farm life, and regional history. We provide field trips, in-school programs, and virtual synchronous programs aligned with Next Generation Science Standards and the State of California Social Studies standards.

Currently, we are accepting advance requests for Fall 2025 (August 11- December 31, 2025). Use the tool below to find age-appropriate options for your group; click Apply Now and complete the online form.
