Junior Rangers Program - 6-8 years

Hi, kids! Welcome to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. We know that’s a mouthful, so just call it the C&O Canal for short.

We are glad you want to become a Junior Ranger. Junior Rangers are special people. They want to protect plants, wildlife (like turtles and birds) and keep our water clean. Junior Rangers also want to protect historic features so those who come after us can also enjoy them.

You can become a Junior Ranger by downloading the PDF file here and complete any four of the activities in this booklet. You will need an adult to help you. You can also ask a park ranger or a volunteer for help.
