Junior Ranger Programs

Hey Kids! If you'd like to become a Junior Ranger at the John Muir National Historic Site, all you have to do is ask for an activity book in the John Muir NHS Visitor Center. A ranger or your parents can help you with some of the activities and a ranger will need to sign your book once you are finished. If you complete the book, you will receive your own Junior Ranger Badge! Activities in the book will help you to learn more about why John Muir was important to our National Parks and with helping to encourage people to protect our beautiful land!

 

Comment Board

Be sure and stop by our Comment Board in the John Muir Visitor Center to write what you think about our current topic. There is always a fun poster that addresses current issues dealing with nature, conservation, John Muir or anything we feel might help you talk with your children about important topics. Color pencils and cards are available for the children (or the young at heart!).
