Jewel Cave National Monument
For Kids

Junior Ranger Program

We have two Junior Ranger Programs.  One is for children ages 5-8, and the other is for children ages 9-12.  Completion of the program requires you to take a cave tour, plus spend between 30 minutes to one hour completing the activity booklet.  You will earn a badge after you complete the program. Ask for a Junior Ranger Program booklet when you visit.  There is no charge for this activity.
