Junior Ranger Day | Ways you can help


Junior Ranger Day is a very special annual event that Acadia National Park holds for local third grade students in the spring. Hundreds of students from local schools attend a day of celebration upon completion of their junior ranger books and classroom program. These students participate in a park clean-up and planting with national park rangers, recite the junior ranger pledge, sing a song, and receive their junior ranger patches as a group.
