Yellowstone for Families

The park offers two programs—one in winter, one in summer—designed specifically for families with children 8 to 12 years old.

In winter, kids and their parents will take photographs, learn animal tracking skills and take to the snow on skis or snow shoes.

In summer—mid-June through mid-August—the days are active. Families learn about the more than 300 geysers and mud pots, explore the trail system and check out the many species—elk, bison, wolves, bears, coyotes—that are enjoying the summer sun. So many creatures to count, so little time!

Both programs enable kids to earn the Junior Ranger badge (read more about ranger programs here). They also provide the opportunity to learn about the area’s ecosystem from the experts at an early age. From $1,988 for a family of four.

Yellowstone Ed-Ventures

Yet another alternative for those eager to sink deeper into Yellowstone’s rich history and amazing eco-system is the Ed-venture program.

The eight-hour trips provide a private and personalized introduction to the wonders of Yellowstone. Programs focus on the diverse and abundant wildlife of Yellowstone’s Northern Range, natural history and geology in the Canyon and Lake Yellowstone areas, and the thermal features in the Old Faithful area.

Families or small groups can also craft programs to suit their knowledge levels or specific interests. Head into the backcountry or learn to use a spotting scope to get closer to nature than you thought possible. The idea is to deepen the visitor’s knowledge and understanding of all things Yellowstone.

Daily rates, effective through October 31, 2008, are $495 for one to six participants, $625 for seven to 13 participants and $1,250 for 14 to 26 participants. For more information about all the above programs visit www.YellowstoneAssociation.org.

Great sounding programs

by dangerjr on August 12, 2008

I'm glad they have some solid-sounding programs. It's definitely something I'd look at when going to Yellowstone.
