The purpose of this activity is to use the lens of your camera to explore how Olympic National Park is meeting the mission of the National Park Service. Each day we will ask you to reflect on a part of the NPS Mission statement, and the values of the system, and then shoot photos as you wander in and out of Olympic National Park that you think represent those themes. Be as creative as you would like to in your interpretations and representations. We will then ask you to choose a favorite photo from each day to discuss together as a group at the end of our trip.
Original Mission of NPS: To promote and regulate the use of the National Parks, which purpose is to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic object and the wildlife therein. And to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.
Added Mission on NPS website: The National Park Service preserves unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the national park system for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. The Park Service cooperates with partners to extend the benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world.
