Junior Ranger Challenge

Have Fun and Earn Prizes

The Junior Ranger Challenge program is a series of challenges for kids to work on with their families, or classmates and teachers. Kids can earn prizes, including a Junior Ranger sticker.

 

Two Easy Steps

1. Complete as many challenges as you can. It's more important to do your best work than to complete every challenge. Parents, teachers, even older brothers and sisters - we expect you to help out the Junior Ranger. Teamwork is awesome!
2. Once you have completed as many activities as you can, email the Junior Ranger Challenge program to unlock a special challenge and receive activity sheets to print at home. If you would also like to receive a junior ranger sticker in the mail, please include a mailing address in the body of your email. (NOTE: Participants will receive junior ranger stickers, not badges.)

The Junior Ranger Challenge program is designed for children ages 8 through 12 and their families and teachers.
