Are your kids interested in learning more about the natural world? Come discover the plants, animals and landscapes of Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve during our Junior Ranger program!

Participants will explore the bay and have the opportunity to earn their own junior ranger badge alongside an OC Parks resource specialist by completing a special activity. All program materials will be provided.

Program content is geared towards ages 7-12, but all are welcome. Please bring water, closed-toe shoes and sun protection as needed. We will be walking a short distance on dirt trails.

Advance registration is required. This program will not accommodate walk-ups. Learn more and register here.

The program and parking are free. Adverse weather may cancel the program.

For questions, please contact resource specialist Emma Arago at emma.arago@ocparks.com or call (657) 692-5401.
