You can participate at one park over several days, or you can start at one park, and then do other programs at different parks. You should plan to spend about an hour at each activity, and you will have so much fun! The Junior Ranger Program is offered free of charge to visitors who have already paid park entrance or camping fees. Not all of the state parks participate in these programs. So, to find out which parks offer Junior Ranger activities, you can use our handy list (../../pages/22783/files/2017 Junior Ranger Parks for Web.pdf). Call the park at the listed number for the program schedule. You can also visit the state parks Upcoming Events webpage (http://www.parks.ca.gov/events), where dates and times are listed for Junior Ranger programs at many parks. (Not all Junior Ranger programs are listed on the events page.) CLICK here (../../pages/22783/files/2017 Junior Ranger Parks for Web.pdf) for a list of parks with Junior Ranger programs. No program at the park you're going to visit? We also offer the Junior Ranger Adventure Guide (?page_id=24064) in English and Spanish. You can print it out before you go to the park and then have fun doing the activities with your whole family. When you've finished all the fun activities in the guide, you win an award!
