Clarksville, TN – It is our pleasure to announce Dunbar Cave State Natural Area’s first annual Junior Ranger Day Camp. This camp is designed for children ages 8 and 9 years old. Programs will help children build a better relationship with the great outdoors and have fun, while learning.
Camp will be held from 9:00am to 12:00pm, Wednesday – Friday, June 18th-20th. Participants must attend all three days to earn a Tennessee State Parks Jr. Ranger certificate and badge.
This project may include making a bird house or feeder or helping to beautify the park. A schedule of activities and a list of requirements will be sent to campers once they are registered.
This camp is provided free by the State of Tennessee State Parks. It is limited to the first 30 participants to be registered. Reservations will be taken from 8:00am–4:30pm, May 15th–31st at 931.648.5526.
There are two ways to become an official Tennessee State Parks’ Junior Ranger. One is to attend a camp.
