Junior Ranger Day

June 22, 2019 | 10 AM - 4 PM
Grand Canyon Visitor Center Plaza | Grand Canyon, AZ

  • The Junior Ranger Program is a great way to explore national parks, get some cool swag, and maybe even a replica of a ranger hat! You'll also learn why national parks matter and how you can be a part of the team that helps keep parks healthy.
  • We don't care what age you are–just come to “explore, learn, and protect” your national parks and become an official Grand Canyon Junior Ranger. This event is free and open to the public.
  • Jr. Rangers can stop by to learn about Grand Canyon Wildlife at the park's touch table, make some split twig figurines, participate in the bark ranger program, and more.

Participating organizations include Grand Canyon Conservancy, High Country Humane Animal Shelter, Delaware North, and Grand Canyon National Park's Vegetation Program.
