The Junior Ranger Program is a free and fun way to learn more about the park and earn a badge.

Junior Ranger materials are available in the park from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM daily.

The Cabrillo Junior Ranger Program must be completed on-site.

How to get started:

• Request materials from a park ranger or volunteer in the Visitor Center.
• If the welcome desk is unstaffed between the hours listed, please call 619-523-4285 to request Junior Ranger materials.
• A park ranger or volunteer will explain the program, hand out the Junior Ranger activity papers and badges, and lead the Junior Ranger oath.
• Parents and guardians will be deputized with the authority to give the badge to their kids upon completion of the required Junior Ranger activities.
