Algonquin Park offers a variety of programs throughout the year. In addition, there are independent businesses which offer activities and guided tours both within and outside Algonquin.

Summer Interpretive Program
One of the best ways to get to know Algonquin Provincial Park is through the Park’s well-known interpretive program. The interpretive program runs daily during July and August and on fall weekends.

Group Education Program
The Friends of Algonquin Park is pleased to offer school, youth, and adult groups a variety of education programs directly linked to the Park’s natural and cultural history themes.

Additionally, our newest project focuses on bringing Algonquin’s amazing natural history to the classroom with The Science Behind Algonquin’s Animals.

The Raven : Algonquin Park's Natural and Cultural History Digest

For the first 50 years, The Raven had two authors…Russ Rutter from 1960 to 1973 and Dan Strickland from 1974 to 2009.

2010 represents a new era for The Raven…the new principal author will be Michael Runtz, a well-known Ontario naturalist, photographer and writer, with a strong connection to Algonquin Park.

The Raven will have six issues a year – two in spring, two in summer, one in the fall, and one in the winter. This new schedule will allow us to update our visitors with timely seasonal information and safety messages.

The Raven is available online [links to our 2010 issues below] and a limited number of complete sets of the previous year's Raven are available at the Visitor Centre or the main gates.
