Are you 100 or 1,000 miles away from Waco Mammoth National Monument, but you would like to visit the park? The park may be closer than you think! Waco Mammoth National Monument is connecting with students through the power of distance learning. Distance learning is an educational way to connect with classrooms that cannot visit the park, via online meeting platforms.

With a touch of a finger, your class will connect with a Waco Mammoth National Monument park ranger and go on a 45-60 minute journey to learn about 65,000 years of science and history pertaining to Columbian mammoths.

If you have a group and want to participate, you will need a computer, tablet, or device with webcam, internet access, and a meeting platform account. To learn more about the program please contact us directly.
