WALLA WALLA, Wash. – Do you have an adventurous spirit and curiosity to match? You would be a perfect Junior Ranger! Join Park Rangers at Whitman Mission and other Junior Rangers just like you to explore Pacific Northwest culture and history on August 12 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Junior Rangers have the opportunity to “take a trip” around Whitman Mission and learn more about the diverse groups of people living around páašx̣a in the 1800s.

Upon finishing the trip, Junior Rangers will earn a special pin. Events begin at the visitor center and are free and open to all ages.
