Junior Rangers, Unite!
Do you know a fourth- or fifth-grader yearning to learn about the great outdoors? Spaces are available for a few good rangers at Stevens Creek County Park.
Got a kid who loves the outdoors? Santa Clara County Parks announces openings for its fall Junior Ranger program.
Different parks around the South Bay, such as County Park, have openings for up to 20 young and open minds, eager to explore.
There will be hands-on activities and adventures each Tuesday between Sept. 27 and Oct. 18, 4-6 p.m., at Stevens Creek County Park. Junior Rangers are typically ages of 9-11, or in the fourth and fifth grades.

And the program is free!
On the first day of the program, children will receive a free T-shirt and Jr. Ranger logbook. Then the fun begins—learning how to track a coyote or deer; pretending to live off the land like the ancient Native Americans; exploring the habitats of bobcats, raccoons, birds and fish; and more.

As your child participates in each ranger-led activity, he or she will earn certificates and Jr. Ranger badges. Graduating Jr. Rangers may also be invited to a free overnight camp out in November with the staff.
Register your child now, before all spots are full. Just visit the Jr. Ranger Program website to download the program guide and registration form.
