Junior Rangers stand in line from shortest to widest wing span. The children were comparing their "wing span" to the wingspan of some very popular birds.

This summer become a junior ranger! Join a park ranger for eight weeks of activities, art projects and discovery walks that explore the natural and cultural history of the area. Discover the work of the reindeer herders, go on a scavenger hunt for cool native plants, create your own cultural garment, work as an archaeologist on your own dig site and more!

Children who attend will have a chance to create a Junior Ranger Kit! Those who attend four or more programs will receive a colorful patch and certificate displaying his or her achievements.
