Getting Kids Connected to National Parks

[Jacquie Fisher]

One of the best ways to celebrate National Parks Week is to introduce kids to our National Parks and Monuments. 

Many families are not aware of the Jr. Ranger programs offered at more than 200 of the National Parks ....  These programs offer kids the opportunity to explore the parks and do hands-on activities.  In addition to in-park programs, kids can also become WebRangers and earn online badges.

Getting kids outside to explore nature, history and science is not only educational, but a wonderful way to help them to appreciate our natural resources.
