A Soldier's Life, teaching trunks containing a teacher's guide, activities, and 18th century reproductions for hands-on exploration are available for classroom use. There is no charge for use of the kits, but schools are asked to return the kits to the Fort via U.P.S. delivery. A "Scavenger Hunt" for elementary students is designed to be used in conjunction with a visit to Fort Ticonderoga.

The Scavenger Hunt is sent to teachers when they call to schedule a class visit to the Fort.
