To become a Junior Ranger, interested youth typically complete a series of activities designed to enhance their understanding of the park’s natural and cultural resources. These activities can include scavenger hunts, nature walks, wildlife observation, interactive exhibits, and more.

Once the activities are completed, the participants share their answers and experiences with a park ranger in order to be awarded with an official Junior Ranger patch and certificate.
