Junior Ranger Day
Sat, August 23, 2025
Join a Ranger for a fun, hands-on adventure to learn what it takes to become a Junior Ranger!
Whether you're new to the outdoors or already a nature expert, this is a great way to connect with the natural world and earn your Junior Ranger badge.
This program is designed for children ages 5–12 and their families, but all are welcome to join the fun!
Meet at Headquarters at 10:00 am. No registration required — just show up ready to explore!
Prepare: This is an easy, interactive program that includes a short walk, games, and hands-on learning activities. Plan for about an hour. Dress for the weather and wear closed-toe shoes for safety and comfort.
Bring: Water, a hat, and your sense of adventure! We’ll provide Junior Ranger booklets and pencils. If you already have a Junior Ranger booklet or badge from another park, bring it to share your story!
Cost: Park programs are open to the public and free with a paid park entrance fee! Park entry is free with the Texas State Park Pass. No need to register—just show up!
*Events and programs are subject to cancellation due to weather; if cancelled, an update will be made to this posting. Please contact park staff for more information and the latest updates.
