California State Parks PORTS program provides teachers and students with complete units of study and live videoconferences.  The units include lessons to prepare your students for the videoconference, supporting materials, and links to further resources. Once you have decided which program you would like to participate in contact a program coordinator to schedule your live videoconference.  If none of the units of study fit your particular curriculum needs, contact us and we can discuss the possibility of delivering a customized program for your class!  Check out our UNITS OF STUDY to see our menu of offerings.
