Junior Ranger Program

November 16, 2024 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

This month Jr. Rangers will explore the superpowers of China Camp’s nocturnal wildlife. Creatures of the night such as owls, bats, coyotes, and certain bugs have special adaptations that allow them to thrive under the cover of darkness. Through fun activities and games, Jr. Rangers will learn how a bat can determine the precise location of its dinner under a pitch-black night sky, and how an owl can sneak up on prey, undetected.

Space is limited; registration required. Cancellations notified via email.

Date: Saturday, November 16
Time: 10 a.m. – noon
Meeting location: Back Ranch Campground

Smoke Advisory: A series of intermittent pile burns are scheduled to begin at China Camp State Park on the McNears Service Road as early as Wednesday, January 22, 2025, or shortly thereafter, depending on weather conditions. All burning depends on weather and air quality conditions that are favorable for smoke dispersal. If conditions are not conducive for safe burning, the burns will be rescheduled.
