Junior Rangers - Weather

This week's theme for Junior Rangers is Weather. We will be exploring how weather effects the natural world, checking out shadows, and making cloud viewers. We will also be taking a stroll over to Buzzard Rock Overlook to do some cloud identification. Who knows what else we may see! This program is designed for ages 5-8.

Outdoor and weather appropriate clothing must be worn as we will be exploring the park; getting dirty and wet are both strong possibilities. Closed-toed shoes are required every day. Please don't forget to bring a snack and a reusable water bottle, as well as apply sunscreen and bug spray before the program begins.

Pre-registration and $10 payment are required in advance. Payment covers participation for all four sessions and is a non-refundable fee. You can register by calling the Park Office during work hours at (276) 579-7092. If you are registering more than one child, please reserve the appropriate number of spots. Payment can also be completed over the phone or in-person by stopping by at the Park Office.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes early as we will need the parent/guardian to fill out an emergency contact form for their child. An adult listed on the emergency contact form must sign the child in/out, and a valid photo ID must be presented. 

If you are camping, drop your kids off with the rangers for a couple hours and enjoy a kid free hike.
