During the summer, park staff provide ranger-guided programs specifically designed for kids. While programs have ended until late June 2009, the description below is a reference for what to expect on a Junior Ranger program.

Junior Ranger Program
 Learning about history can be fun! Children ages 8-12 can join a ranger for a program filled with engaging activities. Junior ranger stickers will be given to each child who attends. This program will also help kids earn their Junior ranger badge! All children should wear sturdy shoes and bring water to drink. 1.5 hours and .5 mile. Meet in front of park headquarters on Red Jacket Road in Calumet.

Did You Know?
The largest known quantities in the world of pure, native copper were found on Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. In some cases, the deposits were up to 97% pure, requiring little chemical processing to produce ingots of pure copper.
