OK!
Are you ready to learn more about some great ways
to have fun in your California State Parks?
And, are you between 7 and 12 years old?
"Junior Rangers" gather at more than 70 state parks,
from the redwood region, to the high Sierra, to the sunny
Southern California beaches.
Play games, hike trails, create your own animal, discover
tracks, observe wildlife, all while making friends your own
age in some of the best places in California! And, that's not
all, as you go through the program, one activity at a time,
you will earn some very cool rewards!
There are 12 different activities to the Junior Ranger
Program. Geology, ecology, history, safety, plants, and
wild life are some of the activity areas you will be exploring
in the program!
The Program can take place over several days, or you can start
at one park, and then at another time go to a
different park. You should plan to spend about an hour
at each activity, and you will have sooo much fun!
The Junior Ranger Program is offered free of charge to
visitors who have already paid park entrance or camping fees.
Wait! There's more!
We also offer the Junior
Ranger Adventure Guide. You can print it out before
you come to the park and then have fun doing these
activities with your whole family! When you've
finished all the fun activities in the guide, you win an
award!
Not all the state parks participate in these programs.
So, to find out which parks offer Junior Ranger activities,
use our handy Guide
to Environmental Education Programs.
