Canaveral National Seashore

FOR KIDS
Lifeguarded beaches located at Parking Areas 1 and 2 at either end of the park is just the ticket for children who want to spend hot summer days at the beach. In the fall and winter the beaches are still neat places to visit. Sea beans from all over the world can be found on the beaches within Canaveral National Seashore. Be sure to look through the seaweed laying on the beach for these long distance travelers.




Junior Ranger Program

 Canaveral National Seashore has three different Junior Ranger Programs for children ages 6 to 12. BASIC JUNIOR RANGER PROGRAM - This program is for children who live nearby or visit the park often. Children are required to attend three park programs, pick up a bag of trash on the beach and do a special project of their own design showing what they have learned during programs. After completion of all activities children are awarded a Junior Ranger patch and certificate. ONE-DAY JUNIOR RANGER PROGRAM - This program is for children who visit the park for one day. The child may pick up a Junior Ranger Activity Book at the Information Center or the South District Entrance Station. Once he/she has completed the activities and returns the book, they will receive a Junior Ranger Decal. JUNIOR RANGER ON-LINE - This program is for children who may never get to visit the park or who may be planning on a visit some time in the future. Children may visit our web-site, print a copy of the Junior Ranger On-Line form. Once all the questions have been answered, mail it to the Junior Ranger On-Line Coordinator as instructed on the form. The child will receive a certificate and Junior Ranger Decal.
