Richland, W.A. –It’s double the junior ranger fun! Two parks, each with their own junior ranger program, are hosting a fun-filled Junior Ranger Day on Sunday, June 12 from 10:30 am to 2:00 pm at Sacajawea Historical State Park at 2503 Sacajawea Park Rd in Pasco, Washington.
Manhattan Project National Historical Park and Sacajawea Historical State Park are inviting children of all ages to become junior rangers of each park and earn a special patch or pin for Junior Ranger Day. There will be fun activities like a scavenger hunt, activity sheets, and hands-on activities to learn about local wildlife. There will also be ranger-led family-friendly nature walks at 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm. Each park will provide junior ranger activities that help children learn how to “Explore, Learn, and Protect” their state and national parks.
