Junior Ranger Activities

During visitor center hours, children can earn a Junior Ranger badge by obtaining and completing a variety of activities.

Children can choose from the Junior Ranger Activity Booklet, the Art Ranger Letterboxing Program, and the Art Ranger Pond Pack.

The Art Ranger Letterboxing Program directs children to use guided clues to navigate the landscape and locate stamps in hidden locations.  Five containers, or letterboxes, have been hidden at various locations at the farm.  For those looking for a nature walk, we have the Art Ranger Pond Pack, a backpack containing art and nature-oriented activities to complete on a hike around Weir Pond.
