The Junior Ranger motto will ring out this summer at the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway as children participate in activity-based programs about rivers and fishing. Park rangers and volunteers will present these free programs regularly throughout the summer at the two park visitor centers.
Children can earn a St. Croix National Scenic Riverway Junior Ranger Badge as they:
● Learn ways that biologists study the St. Croix and Namekagon rivers.
● Make observations with hand lens, binoculars, thermometers, and GPS units.
● Discover the habitat and animals that live under the surface of the river.
● Discover the shoreline habitat and animals that live there.
● Learn the proper way to wear a life jacket.
● Meet a park ranger and take home an activity book.
Junior Rangers are typically between the ages of 5 to 13, although people of all ages can participate, and earn a badge and certificate. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Groups are welcome. Help us prepare for programs by calling in advance if you plan to bring more than 6 children. Wear outdoor clothes, comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, a hat, insect repellent, and bring something to drink. Programs will last up to an hour and indoor activities will be presented on stormy days.
Call 715-635-8346 if you plan to bring a group of more than 6 children.
