"TEACHING BY DOING" IS THE HEART OF THE EDUCATION PROGRAM
Educating Utah's students about the history and heritage of the state is an integral part of the mission of the Park. Each year thousands of elementary school students experience pioneer life during field trips to the Park. The activities complement the state curriculum for Utah History at the primary school level. Students take part in an ‘hands-on learning’ experience they’ll remember for the rest of their lives.
Educational Outreach
Not only do students visit the Park to engage in learning, we also take the Park to them! Our educational outreach program reaches thousands of additional students each year when we visit their school campus. A fun filled, educational experience through original song, dance and poetry makes this outreach assembly program unique to Utah schools. We collaborate with other heritage groups, bringing pioneer life to the classroom. Students also have the opportunity to develop their work and share it with the rest of the student body.
