Shenandoah's award-winning Junior Ranger Explorer Notebook provides children age 7 and older with the opportunity to have fun learning about the park as they work toward becoming Junior Rangers. The 15 activities in the book guide children as they explore forest trails, streams, plants, and animals.
Children draw, record observations, and answer questions.
After completing a certain number of activities, and attending two ranger programs, children earn a sticker, badge, or patch. Families may rent Junior Ranger backpacks containing field guides, binoculars, and other supplies. They purchase the Junior Ranger Explorer Notebook for a small fee.
