The movement that REI started back in 2015 continues, encouraging us to leave behind the consumer mindset of Black Friday and instead spend our time outdoors! Delaware State Parks is a proud supporter of #OptOutside and is waiving all park entrance fees on Friday, November 29. Learn more »

Teaching Programs

Teachers, are you looking for a more hands-on experience for your class? State Parks interpreters, whether in the parks or at your school, connect classroom learning to real-life examples, creating space for students to observe and investigate the world around them. Remember that park interpreters can come to you – no bus required! We provide learning resources throughout the year in many content areas. Meet military heroes from Fort Delaware, Fort Miles, and First State Heritage Park or discover the science behind changing seasons and the animals who have adapted to them — looking for something specific? Our interpreters can create custom programs for learners at all grade levels and align experiences to the needs of individual groups of students. Delaware State Parks bring your lessons to life.

November Night Hikes

Bundle up and explore your favorite park in a whole new way. As the moon comes up and crickets begin to chirp, walk with an interpreter, and learn about the sights and sounds of the evening. Look up and learn about constellations, moon phases, or enjoy star gazing! Catch a glimpse of Delaware’s owls while you won’t disturb them; towards the end of the month, they will be finished mating for the season. November may also be your last chance to see crepuscular and nocturnal animals that hibernate, including bats and skunks, which are most active at dusk and dawn. Learn more »
