Wolf Trap announces the 2009 summer ranger program schedule. Join a park ranger for an interpretive program and learn about the arts in the park.

Two different Ranger Programs are offered at 12:15 pm and 12:30 pm, every Tuesday through Saturday* during our Children's Theatre-in-the-Woods season (June 23 - August 8, 2009). Programs meet at the footbridge near the Children's Theatre and are about 20 minutes in length. Check the information board at the footbridge or call (703) 255-1824 to find out which Ranger Programs will be available on the day of your visit. 

Programs are free and recommended for kids five and older.
