Park Schedules

Most parks do their Junior Ranger games and crafts in the summer. They start around Memorial Day at the end of May, just before school gets out. Park Rangers and other people lead nature walks and other things on the weekends.

Tree PlantingBut you don't need to wait for a nature walk to work on getting stamps in your Junior Ranger Passport. There are a lot of things you can do on your own or with friends (or even with your family). When you get to a park, any time of year, look for things you can do to:

  • Recycle
  • Clean up litter
  • Find out the real names of three plants or animals
  • Find park secrets
