Calling all nature-loving kids! Check out this interactive series where kids grow their outdoor skills and help steward the earth. Youth ages 7-13 will explore regional parks with a ranger and park staff. To earn their official SCRP Junior Ranger badge and certification, kids must complete the Junior Ranger Passport booklet, which consists of completing a skills-building course, natural exploration course and assisting park staff at one service day event. Booklets are available at programs.
Join us for a kayak class geared toward beginners. You will be paddling the Russian River through flat water. Learn kayak paddling techniques, safety guidelines and how to “read the river.” You will also learn about some of the local wildlife native to the Russian River. Meet on the beach next to the water. This counts as a skills activity for the Junior Ranger badge.
