Education Programs
Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area offers a number of opportunities for educational groups wishing to visit. The 100 acre park hosts a 19th century lighthouse, some of Oregon’s best tide pools, an exceptional Interpretive Center, and occasion for birdwatching, wildlife viewing, and hiking.
Throughout the year, classes may participate in a Group Discovery Tour, where teachers and chaperones lead students in various activities or sites throughout the park. In the springtime (April through mid-June), school groups can choose one of our Ranger-Led Tide Pool Programs, where theme-based programs are offered for Kindergarten through 12th grade students. For grades where no ranger-led program is offered, Teacher-led Tide Pool Programs may be scheduled, dependent upon space availability.
Reservations
With over 300,000 visitors a year, Yaquina Head can be a very busy place. For the safety and enjoyment of all visitors, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offers different reservation options for visiting school groups.
