Teddy Bear Picnics To Be Held at Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Have you ever wondered how the "Teddy Bear" got its name? Do you have a special fuzzy companion? The Theodore Roosevelt Nature and History Association will host Teddy Bear Picnics throughout the summer of 2010 to celebrate Teddy Bears and their owners. For more information call the Theodore Roosevelt Nature and History Association at (701) 623-4730 x 3419 or the South Unit Visitor Center at extension 3417.





There's a lot for kids to see and do in Theodore Roosevelt National Park! You can see lots of animals, roast marshmallows over a campfire, hike a trail, go horseback riding, see a ranger program, and even become a Junior Ranger!

Earn your own Junior Ranger badge when you come to the park by participating in the Junior Ranger Program. You can also become a WebRanger from home! Learn more at Be A Junior Ranger.

Become a member of the Badlands Club! Ask a ranger at the South Unit Visitor Center for an activity sheet and answer the questions about the exhibits. When you have completed the questions you will become a member of the Badlands Club and earn a sticker! This activity is available for visitors of all ages.

Kids can also print coloring pages and build a paper model of Theodore Roosevelt's cabin on the Park Fun page.
