Junior Ranger Program

And I don't know if you can see it very well behind me here, but if you ever come to the park and I'm not here, if there's not a program that you're interested in, behind me here, this is actually the cover for our Sea Room Activity book.

So we have the wonderful Junior Ranger books.

We also have the Sea Room Activity book that we give out for free.

Um, both of those are great things to do with little ones.

[laughs]

And then Hunter, can you kind of expand on the educational aspects of the park ranger program outside of Junior Rangers, what you all are doing?

Yeah.

We're, we're educators.

It is, I think I, it's my friend's child's hat.

It says Junior Ranger.

Oh, okay.

And then they're like, it looks better on you.

That I, I, that I was there when it was a monument.

Our s- like our Junior Ranger badges and our ornament and everything says White Sands National Monument.

Mm-hmm.

So pretty cool that this one changed to a national park though.

On their page, they have a whole page of how to contact them.

We have a really good junior ranger program.

We also have a not-so-junior ranger program, both of which are open to all ages.

So if you're an 80-year-old junior ranger, that is fine.

You won't even be the oldest one that I've sworn in.

And the Katmai rangers are really responsive considering the challenges we have with internet and things like that.

So you can use those how to contact and they will be happy to answer your questions or send you your patches if you've finished your task book.

And can you do the junior ranger program remotely if you don't go to the park?
