Group size per staff member will generally be limited to 15–30 depending on the program requested and age of the participants. Programs for pre-K groups are available to groups of 15 or fewer.

School Programs

If you are a classroom teacher, Lake Crabtree has developed an LCCP Educator's Guide to facilitate choosing a program for your class either at your school or at the park. The guide has information about Lake Crabtree County Park and links to our Group Program list. This list recommends programs by grade level as well as outlining what essential science standards are met by each program.
