Coronado National Memorial Junior Ranger

Follow in the footsteps of the great explorer, Coronado. Look for some of the 55 different kinds of mammals at Coronado National Memorial. Check out examples of what Coronado and his soldiers might have worn on their expedition. Take a nature walk. Learn some basic Spanish words by taking the Junior Ranger test. Look for the three most common cave formations: stalagtites, stalagmites, and columns.

At Coronado National Memorial the future stewardship of the park is of the utmost importance. A Junior Ranger is an explorer. A Junior Ranger is a learner, and this type of learning is informal and fun. A Junior Ranger is a protector of the national parks. Junior Rangers discover things they can do to help make sure there are always parks to visit in the future. They learn things they can do in the parks, and things they can do when they return home. When they have completed their activity booklets, children are sworn in as a Junior Ranger and receive a badge, patch, and certificate. How about your children?
