Junior Rangers Celebrate Their Day! (4 Photos)
One of our favorite events is the annual Junior Ranger Day celebration at the Mississippi River Visitor Center. This is an opportunity for you to meet other Junior Rangers, learn new things about the Mississippi River, and become a Junior Ranger. Of course, you can drop by the visitor center any time to become a Junior Ranger, or visit any one of the other 5 participating partners. The next Junior Ranger Day is April 25, 2009 from 1:00—4:00 p.m. Stop by and see what all the excitement is about.

Junior Rangers Take to the River (5 Photos)
The first annual Junior Ranger canoe trip was a great success. Thirty two participants pushed their big Voyageur canoes--supplied by Wilderness Inquiry--into the Mississippi’s current for a daylong expedition. Canoeing, hiking, exploring the life and history of the Mississippi River and talking with National Park Rangers—that’s a great day! This popular program filled quickly this year, so watch for next year’s trip notice on this website and sign up early!
