Junior Ranger
Are you 7 to 12 years old? Join park rangers and Cuyahoga Valley National Park Association (CVNPA) staff for summer fun and exploration. You’ll have a chance to participate in a real archeological dig, express yourself through nature journaling and photography, visit working farms, catch newts,and more.
Children attending three Junior Ranger programs earn a CVNP Junior Ranger badge—six earn you the new national Junior Ranger patch.
Junior Ranger, Jr.
You’re never too young to love the outdoors! Children ages 4 to 6 can nurture seeds on a real farm, investigate rocks big and small, ride a train, and have other pint-sized adventures.
Children attending three programs earn a CVNP Junior Ranger badge—five earn a patch.
Pre-registration and advanced payment are required, as space is limited. Program locations are given upon registration.
Fee: $8 per child, $5 for CVNPA members, unless otherwise noted. A parent or guardian is required to attend with participating children; no charge for adults except on train programs.
To register call Cuyahoga Valley Environmental Education Center at (800) 642-3297 ext. 100.
There is a special selection of Junior Ranger programs for groups of 10 or more. Call the number above for details.
