Teacher Workshops & Internships
Mount Rainier National Park offers a variety of free education workshops each year. These interdisciplinary workshops combine instruction, activities, field sessions, curriculum development, and curriculum review focus groups. An academic credit option is also available for some workshops at an additional fee through The Heritage Institute; all credits are based on a quarter system.
