Cumberland Island: Junior Ranger Program Activity Guide for Ages 5-7

Kids joining the Junior Ranger program get a hands‑on adventure through Cumberland Island’s seas, forests, and marshes. The guide invites young explorers to complete fun puzzles, word finds, and simple science tasks while learning about gopher tortoises, dolphins, birds, and historic island life. By finishing at least five activities and visiting a ranger, children earn a badge that celebrates their new role as park protectors.

The booklet is packed with kid‑friendly sections—packing checklists, habitat‑matching games, eye‑spy riddles, and leaf‑rub art projects—that turn a day trip into a discovery quest. Each page encourages families to work together, observe wildlife, and talk about how people have used the island’s resources for centuries. With colorful illustrations and clear instructions, the guide makes conservation concepts easy for five‑to‑seven‑year‑olds to grasp and enjoy.
