Junior Rangers at Wind Cave National Park

The Junior Ranger Program is an exciting opportunity for children and their families to learn about the park. Becoming a Junior Ranger helps youngsters understand the park's ecosystems, the cave, and the animals. It also helps them learn how they can help protect all parts of our environment. Junior Ranger booklets are available at the bookstore. There are activities for children up to age 12.

This year through a grant made possible by the National Park Foundation and the generous support of Kodak, a proud partner of America's National Park, we will be taking photographs of the accomplishments of our Junior Rangers. These youngsters will then be able to share their pictures and adventures with familes and friends.
