Visit any information center and pick up a free Redwood Junior Ranger Activity Book. Or, you can download the junior ranger booklet (March 2021 edition) and print a copy before leaving home. Then, complete the activities at your own pace while exploring the parks with your family.

When you're done, return the completed booklet to any visitor center (summer 9am-5pm / winter 9-4pm) and get sworn in and recieve your badge! Sorry, but we do not mail out junior ranger badges.

Ranger-Guided Program (available June - August)
From games and crafts to hikes and watching wildlife, explore some of the best places in California and make new friends along the way. To get started, children ages 7 to 12 should check our calendar or visit any information center for the time and place of the next Junior Ranger activity (typically about 1 hour long). Get an official state park badge after completing your first activity. There's even more prizes to be won, but you don't have to earn them here. You can continue at over 70 other state parks around California!

Here at Redwood National and State Parks, we're proud of our Junior Rangers. They're true partners in helping preserve these special places for future generations. Thank you!
