Junior Ranger Program
Become a Junior Ranger!
Youth ages 9-11 are invited to explore wildlife, learn about native plant habitats, and discover the stories of people who lived here long ago. Hands-on activities will teach participants about the wonders of nature, ways to protect our parks, and careers in County Parks. Staff-led Junior Ranger programs will take place at Mt. Madonna, Coyote Lake, and other county parks throughout the summer. For a list of upcoming program dates and locations, visit our Events Calendar and check back here for updates after June 1st.

What are people saying about this program?
“In the junior ranger program, I felt like I was with everyone else, and not alone. I was happy being with new friends and with nature. My life changed through the course of the program. It made me feel like I was more involved. When I wasn’t doing anything I felt lazy, tired and bored. And now I feel energetic and amazing. The program helped me so much.” – 2017 Junior Ranger
