Just For Kids - Texas State Parks Explorer Packs!
Starting this June, Texas State Parks is introducing a new program that will give your child or grandchild something exciting to do this summer. The Junior Ranger Explorer Pack program gives kids a fun way to explore state parks while learning about nature. Best of all, kids can check out these packs free for the entire day when they are accompanied by a parent or adult.
The Explorer Packs are designed for kids 7-12 years of age. Each pack comes with a binocular, magnifying glass, animal tracking key, sketchbook, pencil, crayons and watercolors, colorful field guides to identify the flowers, birds, butterflies, trees, rocks, wildlife and plants, plus a journal so kids can record what they learn.
Visit
www.texasstateparks/JuniorRanger to find out which 30 state parks have this new Explorer Pack program.
Plus stay tuned for more information about other kids programs that will be available in the near future, including the Texas State Parks Junior Ranger Journal program to be offered this fall… we have lots more in the works!
