Schools and Youth Groups
Teachers and youth group leaders – come make the Presidio a classroom for your kids.
The Presidio – along with the entire Golden Gate National Recreation Area – is a classroom where young people can have experiences that grow their minds and expand their horizons. A variety of opportunities are offered by the Presidio Trust, the National Park Service, and Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy.
A very popular experience is youth group visits to Presidio Tunnel Tops, where kids can play and discover at the Outpost playground and the Field Station. Wrap up a day of fun with lunch at the Outpost Meadow Picnic Area.
Additionally, teachers and youth group leaders can bring their kids to the Presidio for self-guided adventures, from nature hikes to museum field trips guided by resources for teachers.
