Join Park Rangers for our Summer Junior Ranger Program Series! Each week the topic will change. Topics include history, wildlife, and park stewardship.

Through hands on activities and ranger talks, young explorers get to uncover the secrets of parks and historical sites. Each week is different, so you can keep coming back!

Programs are designed to engage ages 4-12, but all ages are welcome to attend. (Parents must accompany their children.)

By completing the necessary number of pages in the workbook, kids will earn an official Junior Ranger badge! At the end of the ranger talk, a badge ceremony will take place for those who have finished their booklet.

These programs aim to spark a lifelong love for conservation and cultural appreciation in the next generation.
