Explore, learn and help out your state parks! The new Junior Ranger guide is packed full of fun activities you can do at any of our 39 state parks. Be a Junior Ranger!
• It's a fun way for children to explore with their family, scouts troop or youth group. Activities are geared for children ages 6-12.
• Children gain an appreciation of North Carolina's cultural and natural heritage and learn about careers in natural resources.
• A different Junior Ranger patch is awarded at each park.
