The Death Valley R.O.C.K.S. (Recreation Outdoors Curriculum for Kids though Study) Program brings classrooms of students from Los Angeles and Las Vegas to Death Valley National Park for a multi-day camping trip and interpretive learning experience.  Kids that wouldn't normally be able to visit a national park enjoy a truly starry night sky and days of environmental education in Death Valley's natural "classroom."  Park Rangers provide full-time support to these students including visits into their classrooms weeks before the visit to prepare for the trip.  

The National Park Service and Death Valley Natural History Association co-sponsor these trips.  Transportation and camping equipment are paid for by DVNHA.

The Death Valley Natural History Association is gearing up for the 2010/2011 Death Valley R.O.C.K.S. (Recreation Outdoors Curriculum for Kids through Study) now.  We're contacting our members to ask for contributions to purchase the gear students will need to visit Death Valley this school year! We are also collecting funds for transportation. 

The R.O.C.K.S. Program wouldn't be possible without the support of our members, The National Park Foundation, the Death Valley Fund, and the Death Valley 49ers .  Thank you!
