Just For Kids
Be A Junior Ranger
Explore the redwood forest, slippery tidepools, vast open prairies, and more! Redwood National and State Parks has a junior ranger newspaper with activities designed for children 7-12 years old. But remember, any age can participate! You can earn a patch OR a sticker. To earn a patch, 10-12 years olds complete six activity pages and 7-9 year olds complete four activity pages (two must be "in-park" activities marked by a star); in addition, each young adult will collect a bag of litter, attend a ranger program or hike a trail, write down one park rule, and understand and sign the Junior Ranger Pledge. To earn a sticker, each potential junior ranger must complete three activities, collect a bag of litter, write down one park rule, and understand and sign the Junior Ranger Pledge. Pick an activity newspaper up at one of our five visitor centers. Be a Redwood Junior Ranger at any age!
Ranger-guided junior ranger activities are offered every summer season beginning in June through early September. Children ages 7 to 12 have fun learning about the people, plants, and animals of the redwood region at this program sponsored by California State Parks. Meet at campground amphitheaters or the Prairie Creek Visitor Center for this one-hour program.
