State Park's Self-lead Field Trip Options

Junior Ranger Program

The Junior Ranger program is a great self-lead option for your field trip. It provides an activity guide that can be used in conjunction with your park lead program or in place of it. Each activity is designed to be used independently and can easily be lead by a teacher or chaperone. Plus, if you earn the required number of points, your group can earn Junior Ranger patches! Contact Brittany Bartholomew if you have any questions.
