How To Use This Booklet
To the Parent/Adult: This Junior Ranger program is designed for students grade 3-6, but may be used by other ages as well. It is hoped that the activities here will help our younger visitors better enjoy, understand and appreciate our park and its resources. Our Junior Ranger program was designed with our Tour Road in mind, but it can be enjoyed without driving through the Battlefield.
To the Junior Ranger: When you receive this booklet, choose and complete three (grades 3-4) or four (grades 5-6) activities in the booklet. Yes, you can get help from someone in your group, or one of our Rangers, and yes, you could do more activities. Once you have completed your activities, have an adult with your group check your work. Once you’ve done that, CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve qualified as a Saratoga National Historical Park Junior Ranger. You will have received a Junior Ranger badge with this booklet.
