The Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation has many learning opportunities from campfire and Junior Ranger programs in our parks, to safety programs for motorized recreational activities.
To Parents & Guardians
The online Junior Ranger Program can work for those at home. It also can be a great activity either before or after visiting one of Idaho’s State Parks. Choose and do three or more of these activities for the park you select:
- Complete Portals to Parks activities.
- Watch a park video presentation (if available for that park).
- Complete the Leave No Trace activity.
- Take a hike with your parents.
- Attend a park presentation.
Once you have completed three activities, download the Junior Ranger certificate for that park and fill in your name to recognize your completion.
Congratulations Junior Ranger!
Welcome Junior Rangers for Idaho State Parks!
