Kids Learning and Activities

Unfortunately, we don't currently offer a Junior Ranger program, but we're happy to provide alternative ways to engage with our museum's content. Instead, kids can explore our History and Culture area on our website to discover more about the people, places, and collections that shaped the story of the Port Chicago disaster. To learn more about this significant event, visit our History and Culture area to start exploring.

Trading Cards

Kids! Collect stories about the Civil War and civil rights! The National Park Service is offering more than 500 trading cards to mark the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. Visit a park in person to earn a card (sorry, cards cannot be mailed). Ask a ranger or stop by the visitor center at a participating park. You can view all the cards online and discover stories from nearly 90 national parks in 31 states and the District of Columbia. You'll be surprised at what you will learn.
