Olympic National Park - For Kids

Olympic National Park offers many educational programs for kids all year long. During the summer, join a ranger for a walk into Olympic"s wilderness or attend an evening campfire program. In the winter, kids can trek out into the snow on a guided snowshow walk. Rangers will even come to your classroom in the spring if you"re in fourth grade and live on the Olympic Peninsula.

Junior Ranger Program

While discovering the wonders of Olympic you might decide to become an Olympic National Park Junior Ranger! A self-guided program targeting children ages 5 - 12 (and the young at heart), Junior Ranger Activity Booklets are available year-round at the Olympic National Park Visitor Center in Port Angeles and the Recreation Information Office in Forks. Booklets are available at other ranger stations when staffed. A $1.00 donation is requested. While you may not be planning an Olympic visit any time soon, perhaps you would like to become a National Park Service WebRanger!
