OnLine Learning

PORTS-
Parks Online Resources
for Teachers and Students

Field trips to state parks have been a favorite educational experience for generations of California school children. However, an ever-increasing percentage of students are not afforded this traditional experience due to distance or economic and social barriers.

The Anza-Borrego Institute raises funds to support the PORTS program with San Diego and Imperial County School systems. Through this partnership, PORTS delivers live presentations from Anza-Borrego Desert State Park ® to classrooms thus allowing students access to park experts regardless of their geographic location or economic status. Never before in public education has such a diverse array of students had such equal access to the vast and inspiring resources of the California State Parks.
