For Kids

The park offers a FREE Junior Ranger booklet for families to complete together. Upon completion children receive an official Junior Ranger Badge. Stop by the Calumet Visitor Center or Park Headquarters to pick one up. Be sure to call ahead for current operating hours.

Some of the Keweenaw Heritage Sites may also offer attractions and activities for kids during the summer. Check with the park for the most up-to-date details.

Kids in Parks

National parks are great places to explore anything kids can imagine. Go on an outdoor adventure. Walk in the footsteps of famous people. Take in unique scenery. Explore new interests. Experience real places you may have only heard about. But most of all, national parks are places where you can have fun and create memories that last a lifetime.
