What is Junior Ranger Camp?

Junior Ranger Camp is a 3-day educational and recreational program for Tucson youth, taking place at Saguaro National Park's Rincon Mountain District (East). We'll hike, learn outdoor skills, meet rangers who do a variety of jobs, create art, and get to know one another surrounded by the beautiful environs of the Sonoran Desert.

Who Can Join?

Participants must be age 7 to 10 years old and reside in Tucson, Arizona or surrounding Pima County. All abilities and experience levels are welcome!

How Much Does It Cost to Participate?

Not a thing, thanks to support from the Friends of Saguaro National Park.
