Jr. Ranger Program Open for Registration!

The Junior Ranger Program is a great way to get your kids (both boys and girls) outdoors and into a free, safe, and fun program! Programs take place in several Santa Clara County Parks each spring and fall for kids ages 9-11 (usually 4th-5th grade). Junior rangers explore park history and nature through outdoor adventures with park staff. Students who successfully complete the program earn a badge and certificate!

Fall dates begin Sept 4, 2018. Apply now. Also, I could not find a requirement that you be a resident of Santa Clara County to apply. Click here for an application and more information.
