.Fort Stanwix Junior Rangers.

Is your child age 6 or older? Why not encourage them to explore our park via the National Park Service Junior Ranger Program!

This is a multi-age level program for kids that allows children to explore their parks at their own pace, all while having FUN!
They will also earn a reward for their hard work.

Parents and guardians are guaranteed to enjoy the park while exploring the world through their children's eyes.

At Fort Stanwix we currently have two Junior Ranger Programs:
              
       1.
One can be completed at the park. 
               If you would like to give your child a head start you
       can have one mailed to them to review before your visit!
       Please address your letter to:
         ATTN: Junior Ranger Program
       Fort Stanwix NM
       112 E Park Street
         Rome, NY 13440


               2. The second one can be completed at home 
       with a little imagination, good research, and
       help from an adult. It is online and references
               other National Park sites. 
               It can be found by clicking on this link:
