Montezuma Castle National Monument Junior Ranger Program

The Junior Ranger program is a group of fun activities which focus on archeology and preservation in understanding our past and our present. The program is available at the Montezuma Castle Visitor Center, or you can download the Junior Ranger Book and turn it in to a ranger when you visit.

Those wishing to become a Junior Ranger can work on activites while in the park. The activites relate to the wildlife, ecosystem, and archaeology of Montezuma Castle National Monument. It allows you to get a glimpse in the daily life of the ancient people who lived here. When you are done with the book, Junior Rangers earn a wooden badge to add to their collection!

Note: There is no age limit to become a Junior Ranger. That means everyone is eligible to become an official Junior Ranger!

Many other Junior Ranger programs are availible through our national program. For more information visit the national Junior Ranger website.
