Three times a week, we hold different activities highlighting what makes Cape Krusenstern National Monument special and give kids a chance to earn Ranger Dollars for the Junior Ranger store. You can take a sneak peek at some of our Junior Ranger programs in these videos highlighting some of our favorite activities. Summer programs run from early June through mid-August and topics differ every week. Give us a call at (907) 442-3890 to check the schedule and find out about the current program. Parents are always welcome to attend with their children. We request that young children be accompanied by an adult or older sibling. We hope to see you here!
