We are excited by the school field trips and hope you will consider bringing your students to Mount St. Helens

We want to help maximize your experience and time while at Mount St. Helens so we created a step by step online registration. By following the instructions below to register your school group we can help you provide your school group with the tools they needs to learn about Mount St. Helens and have fun at the same time. Please allow at least 20 minutes to register.

Suggested Intineraries: The itineraries include lesson plans, worksheets, etc. Click on your desired Itinerary for a visitor area to view the entire packet. Please realize that Ranger-led Program itineraries are limited, and are only available at the visitor centers. You are welcome to create your own itinerary as well.
