Event Details

Get ready for adventure! The Harpeth River Jr. Ranger Camp is the perfect opportunity for kids to explore the outdoors, discover local history, and learn how to safely connect with nature. Through hands-on activities and exciting lessons, campers will dive into topics like conservation, wildlife, and the stories that make our park unique.

This camp is designed for ages 8–12 and will take place June 10th–12th. Camp runs from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM each day, with drop-off between 7:30–8:15 AM at the Hidden Lake area.

On the final day, campers will celebrate their accomplishments with a special graduation—and families are encouraged to join in the fun!

We will have snacks available throughout day but you are welcome to send snacks with your camper. They will need good running shoes, a refillable water bottle, sun protection (applied before camp), bug spray, and appropriate clothing for the weather.

If you have any questions please reach out to Ranger Hale at sydnie.hale@tn.gov
