Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site

FOR KIDS


Kid's Quarters (NPS Photo) Newly developed on-line "Kid's Trail" provides a kid-oriented perspective on the Fort and its history. Click "more info" above. Kid's Quarters in June provides seven to eleven year old children the chance to "step back in time" and learn skills of the 1800's. Children are split into groups of trappers, traders, laborers, blacksmiths and carpenters, Indians, and soldiers. Adult living history historians guide the children through normal life and work routines of the 1840's fur trading post. For information about Kid's Quarters, please go to the Activities page.




Junior Ranger Program

 The children must complete selected parts of the Bent's Old Fort "Adventure Guide" and view the 20 minute documentary film or go on a guided tour.
