Junior Ranger Program
Click here to download a copy of the Ellis Island booklet.
This self-guided program gives children the opportunity to learn about Ellis Island and our nation's heritage and become a Junior Park Ranger. This activity booklet will take you through the historic Immigration Station where children learn the importance of protecting and preserving this National Monument. The booklet takes about 1 hour to complete and is available here or free at the Ellis Island Information Desk. This program is recommended for kids ages 7-12. Children can ask Park Rangers how they can help preserve America's heritage. This is an on-site program only and cannot be completed electronically or by mail.
Kids: Don't forget to participate in the National Park Service's nationwide Junior Ranger Program. Become a WEBRANGER. Visit us online at: www.nps.gov/webrangers

Did You Know?
Many government agencies have administered the Ellis Island immigration depot. The federal "Bureau of Immigration", later called the Immigration & Naturalization Service (INS), inspected immigrants. The agency was eliminated in 2003 and is now called U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
