Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore
Be A Junior Ranger

 

 

While visiting the park, stop by the Philip A. Hart Visitor Center in Empire, the Dune Center Bookstore at the Dune Climb, or the Glen Haven General Store to get your copy of the Junior Ranger Workbook. The books are FREE!  Complete the challenges in the workbook and return to the Philip A. Hart Visitor Center for a Ranger to check over with you, so you can receive the Sleeping Bear Dunes Jr. Ranger Badge or Patch.

 
Jr. Ranger Patch

Jr. Ranger Patch

If your work is good (and correct), you'll receive a Junior Ranger Badge or Patch to proudly display for all of your friends to see. In addition, you will receive a certificate signed by the ranger and your name will be added to our list of Junior Rangers for this year on our web site. Best of all, you will have gained valuable knowledge in the stewardship of our National Parks and that's what we really want! The more we all share in caring for our environment, the healthier the Earth will be... and the healthier the Earth, the happier all of us will be. Remember, it's all for our children's children's children... and beyond!
