FOR KIDS IN THE PARKS Programs: In summer, there are ranger-led walks and talks for the entire family. There may be special walks just for kids, too. At the Beetle Rock Education Center (near the Giant Forest Museum parking lot), stop in at the family nature center. Check the summer issue of the free park newspaper and join us! Junior Ranger Program: Kids of any age can participate in this program! If you are 5-8 years old, you can earn the Jay Award. Those 9-12 work for the Raven Award. Are you 13-103? You can earn the Senior Patch.
To get started, purchase a Junior Ranger booklet at any visitor center. Follow the instructions and have fun!
