Cold Lake Alberta Parks has many environmental education offerings, ranging from kindergarten to Grade 12 including field studies, winter programs, and classroom programs. Our school programs are linked to Alberta Education curriculum and led by enthusiastic and knowledgeable Alberta Parks interpreters. Any of our programs can be delivered at these park locations - or even in your classroom or local natural area.
