    Junior Ranger Program

    As in other National Parks, Zion has a Junior Ranger program from Memorial Day to Labor Day. This is for children 6 to 12 years of age, and is held in the Zion Nature Center. The Junior Ranger Program really helps the youth get the most out of their visit to a National Park and to become involved as an official Junior Ranger and earn their patch.
