Join Ranger Jacque for a fun, family-friendly hike and get your kids started in our Junior Rangers program. Click program title for more details.
Looking for something to do with the kids over winter break? You found it! Join Ranger Jacque for this 1 to 1.4 mile out and back walk on the Tortoise trail. Prior to the hike, we’ll talk about the Junior Ranger program, set up every young person with their own activity book, and then we’ll actually do some of the activities together on our walk as a way to get a head start on becoming an official Junior Ranger! The walk is rated easy and suitable for any child who can walk a mile or more on their own. Please wear closed-toe shoes and bring water. Hats and sunscreen are recommended. Restrooms are available at the Nature Center.
