From the National Park Foundation: “Join us April 16th–24th as America celebrates National Park Week – a chance to hike, learn, share, and give back in the nation’s 394 national parks. Take this opportunity to come out and discover, or re-discover, 84 million acres of the world’s most spectacular scenery, historic landmarks and cultural treasures.
National Park Week is a chance for all Americans to experience the majesty of the national park system for FREE. Visit any of America’s national parks and enjoy free admission all week long!
Together, we are owners, protectors and lovers of this land. Whether you are visiting, volunteering or interested in sharing your national park experience with the world, below you will find all the resources you need to make your National Park Week experience a memorable one.”
Sequoia National Park is offering a Junior Ranger Family Event on Saturday, April 16, from 11am to 3 pm at Hospital Rock. Families will check in at the Hospital Rock Picnic Area’s event information booth where participants will receive an activity sheet. Kids and families will stop at 6 or more stations, complete the related activities (of their choice), and obtain a stamp for each station. Kids and families will turn in their activity sheets at the event information booth, where they originally started. The ranger at event info booth will provide each child with a Sequoia and Kings Canyon Junior Ranger activity book. The event activities are equal to completion of one activity – attendance at a ranger-led program – in the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks Junior Ranger activity book.
