Kids & Youth

Shenandoah National Park is one of the coolest places in the world to explore—we have tree-climbing bears, talking birds, pole-vaulting insects, and rock-eating plants! You can discover all of these epic wonders while you're getting sworn in as an official Junior Ranger, hiking one of the many kid-friendly trails, learning from a park ranger during a ranger program, or completing the activity guide at one of our three TRACK Trails. Also, if you're a fourth grader, you and your family can get free access to hundreds of parks, lands, and waters for the entire year by participating in the Every Kid Outdoors program. So, what are you waiting for?!?
