Win Disney Books’ Adventurers Guild and Percy Jackson Coloring Book

Win a Copy of Win Disney Books’ Adventurers Guild and Percy Jackson Coloring Book

My family loves to read. Whether it be a paperback, hardback, audio book, Wattpad, ebook, magazine, newspaper or whatever. Sometimes even a cereal box. One of my favorite memories is four of us at a table in a restaurant, absolute silence as I read a paperback, my daughter on her kindle, my son on his phone and my husband on a tablet. So, I am pleased to give away a copy of Disney Books’s The Adventurers Guild by Zack Loran Clark and Nick Elipulos and a copy of The Percy Jackson Coloring Book with artwork by Keith Robinson.

Junior rangers explore park history and nature through outdoor adventures with park staff. Students who successfully complete the program earn a badge and certificate! 
 
Graduating junior rangers are invited to a free overnight campout (June 2-3, 2018) with program staff. 
 
Registration forms must be completed and submitted by April 1, 2018.  But don’t wait.  Also, I could not find a requirement that you be a resident of Santa Clara County to apply.
