Become A Hampton Jr. Ranger

Hampton National Historic Site

Learn how to become a Hampton NHS Junior Ranger!

The Junior Ranger motto is recited by children around the country; each taking an oath of their own to protect parks, continue to learn about parks, and share their own ranger story with friends and family. The NPS Junior Ranger program is an activity based program conducted in almost all parks, and some Junior Ranger programs are national. Many national parks offer young visitors the opportunity to join the National Park Service "family" as Junior Rangers. Interested youth complete a series of activities during a park visit, share their answers with a park ranger, and receive an official Junior Ranger patch and Junior Ranger certificate. Junior Rangers are typically between the ages of 5 to 13, although people of all ages can participate. Junior Ranger books can be picked up at the Hampton Visitor Center, as well as a pencil to complete the tasks. Once completed return the book and pencil to a ranger at the Visitor Center, and you will be officially sworn in as a Junior Ranger!
