Junior Ranger Program - * NEW * to download our new Junior Ranger program booklet
The Junior Ranger Program encourages children ages 6 through 12 to participate in their visit to the Monument and is a fun way for young visitors and their families to get the most out of their visit. Booklets are available from the information kiosk at the Fort Entrance.
Read exhibits and view the movie in the Theater or take the self-guided tour. Attend a ranger talk or demonstration and ask questions. Then complete the activity sheets in the booklet. Completing all the activities in the booklet will earn children a certificate of completion and an official Junior Ranger Badge from the site.
Allow about one hour to complete the Junior Ranger Program.

Web Ranger
If you cannot visit the Castillo de San Marcos, you can still experience our Nartional Parks by becoming an NPS Web Ranger!
As a National Park Service Web Ranger, you’ll learn what Park Rangers do to help protect our natural resources and our cultural heritage. You’ll also learn how Park Rangers observe and discover new things about our National Parks - things to share with visitors like you. You can help with caring for our parks, teaching others what you learn, and observing and exploring your environment.
There are a variety of games and activities to enjoy and learn from. After completing the web activities, you will receive an official Junior Ranger Certificate.
Be an NPS Web Ranger!
