Description

Calling all young explorers! Join us at Koreshan State Park for the fun‑filled Junior Ranger Academy! Throughout the event, participants can dive into a variety of hands‑on Junior Ranger passport activities—everything from discovering local wildlife and learning about the park's unique history to exploring the natural world through interactive stations.

Park staff and volunteers will be on hand to guide families through each activity, answer questions, and help kids connect with the wonders of Florida's natural and cultural heritage. Once they've completed their passport challenges, new recruits will take part in an official Junior Ranger swearing‑in ceremony, where they'll proudly receive their very own badge and patch to mark their achievement.

It's a perfect day of learning, exploring, and celebrating the next generation of park stewards. Families are encouraged to bring their sense of adventure and enjoy a memorable experience together.
