The fifth week of Junior Rangers is all about our Park Pros! Come learn from our park rangers about what it is they do as maintenance rangers, law enforcement officers, and natural resource mangers. Review the attached agenda for more details.

Programs run Monday - Wednesday from 10am to 1pm. Outdoor and weather appropriate clothing must be worn as we will be exploring the park; getting dirty and wet are both strong possibilities. Closed-toed shoes are required every day. Please don't forget to bring lunch, a reusable water bottle, sunscreen, and bugspray.

Pre-registration and payment are required in advance. Program cost is $20 per child, per week. You can do this by either calling the Visitor Center at (540)288-1400 or stopping by in-person. If you are registering more than one child, please reserve the appropriate number of spots.

On the first day, arrive15 minutes early as we will need the parent/guardian to fill out an emergency contact form for their child and read/sign a code of conduct. Adults are welcome to stay for the duration of the program. An adult listed on the emergency contact form must sign the child in/out with a valid photo ID.
