From late June to September, Park interpreters offer fun, informative programs about the park’s wildlife, plants, geology, and history.

• Regular interpretive events are not cancelled on account of the weather; we are on the go rain or shine!
• Your park entry fee is your ticket to all but a few special programs.
  

Daytime Activities

Tablelands - Walk Upon the Earth’s Mantle (2 1/2 hours)
Experience a geologist’s dream! Learn about plate collisions, ice age features, and plant life in a seemingly barren landscape.

Green Point - Stroll through Strata (1 1/2 hours)
Green Point was recently declared a global reference point for geological time and is part of a world-famous and spectacular sequence of layered rocks along the coast of Gros Morne National Park.

Join us for campfire programs of stories and songs. Be sure to bring your singing voice, a coat or blanket, a flashlight, a cup to join us for a “mug-up”, and a musical instrument if you are so inclined.

Evening Programs

Artist in Residence Program

Artists spend three to six weeks in Gros Morne National Park, exploring, photographing, sketching and participating in the park's interpretive program. By creating work from their experiences in the park, artists can reveal meanings and relationships that complement the scientific and educational perspectives presented by park staff. Learn more about this program, which is a joint project of Parks Canada, the Rooms Provincial Art Gallery and the Canada Council for the Arts. While at the Gros Morne Discovery Centre view the art gallery located on the ground floor and ask park staff about upcoming public programs by the current Artist in Residence.
