This program is a great opportunity for kids to learn hands-on all about the history that took place at a national park. When you get to the park you just pick up the booklet from the visitor's center - there are age-appropriate options, so all of the kids can participate! While visiting the park, we explore and find all the answers to the questions, or complete an activity/hike/hunt/etc. Here are my two big boys with their friends completing a section of their booklet.
Once you are done, you go back to the visitor's center and a Park Ranger awards the kids a Junior Ranger badge! It's a very cool program. E was very proud to earn her badge!
M took over the camera for a while during the visit - here's one of his shots. :)
We climbed up a tall tower on the battlefield - LaRee's dad was nice enough to carry Emma up! Here's a shot of all our kiddos at the top. :)
If you haven't checked out the Junior Ranger program before, give it a try! There's a list of all the parks that participate in that link. Great history lessons that STICK with kids - because they have fun learning it!
