Over the summer of 2020, close to 10,000 kids and parents participated in our Virtual Junior Ranger Programs. With so much success and public support, many staff statewide wanted to see these programs continue. Working together, educators of California State Parks, known as Interpreters, developed a dual language Junior Ranger program. We hope that by providing a program that combines both English and Spanish, it will help children develop language skills and an understanding of the extraordinary resources in their California State Parks, and provide them with fun activities they can do at home. At the same time, we are rewarding them for being future stewards of their parks.
Kids can click on the link and go through 6 different modules. These are self-paced activities.

As kids watch each of the videos, they will need to look out for the code words! This code words are what they will email to our Statewide Junior Ranger Coordinator. Once they have sent in the code words, the coordinator will reward them as follows: after they have earned three badges they will be eligible for a physical California State Park Junior Ranger badge; completion of all six programs will earn them the Junior Ranger Patch and a Junior Ranger Certificate.
If you have any questions about our Junior Ranger program email them to interpretation.staff@parks.ca.gov. When you have completed all the virtual programs you can also email the code words to this email and we will send you your awards.
