The National Park Service (NPS) offers young nature lovers a special opportunity just for them called the Junior Ranger Program.
This activity-based program, available at almost all NPS destinations, offers youth visitors the chance to earn special badges by completing a series of activities during a park visit and sharing their answers with a park ranger.
Today, kids can earn select Junior Ranger badges online, from home! Explore these online opportunities to get to know parks from across the nation:
