Inspiring Discovery—In the Museum, the Classroom, and the Community

At the REACH Museum, our Education Team connects learners of all ages with the Mid-Columbia River Region’s natural and cultural history. Through engaging, standards-aligned programming, we spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and provide meaningful educational experiences both on-site and in the community.

From hands-on workshops and field trips to classroom visits and online resources, we offer dynamic learning opportunities that connect students, families, and educators to the stories of our region. Explore the programs and resources below to see how the REACH Museum can support learning—in the museum, in the classroom, and beyond.
