Channel Islands National Park - For Kids

Channel Islands National Park by National Parks Service

Every Tuesday and Thursday from Memorial Day through Labor Day, rangers conduct a live underwater video program from Anacapa Island. This unique program features an interpretive dive through one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world, the kelp forest. Visitors may view this program without ever getting their feet wet, from the landing dock at Anacapa Island or the mainland visitor center. The "Parks as Classrooms" program brings the park to local schools.

Attention Educators!

Do you know students who would like to take a close look at a sea star, examine a pygmy mammoth bone, learn more about "The Island of the Blue Dolphins," or set foot on one of the Channel Islands? Then the park's education program is for you.
