Junior Ranger Days scheduled at Lock 16 Visitor Center in LaSalle

Posted

LA SALLE - Park Ranger Bill Smith will be at the Lock 16 Visitor Center in LaSalle on Thursday, July 27 and again on Thursday, Aug. 24 to answer questions about the National Parks and to deputize Junior Rangers. Ranger Smith will be available from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. both days for pictures, questions and fun activities for Junior Rangers. Also on those days, rides on the I&M Canal Boat will be half price for all children.

The National Park Service’s Junior Ranger program is an activity-based program conducted in nearly all parks. The purpose of the program is to offer young visitors the opportunity to join the National Park Service “family” as Junior Rangers. Kids who take part will complete a series of activities, share their answers with the park ranger, and receive an official Junior Ranger patch and Junior Ranger certificate.
