Event Details

JUNE 22ND-JUNE 26TH

8:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Meet at: The Old Stone Fort Group Camp (We will have signs and I will also send you a map circling where to drive, drop off, and park.)

Old Stone Fort will be hosting our annual Jr. Ranger Camp this year on June 22nd-26th from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Our camp will be full of opportunities to experience nature, history, wildlife, safety, and a chance to be outside! At the end of the week, each participant will be sworn in as a Junior Ranger for Tennessee State Parks.

This camp is open to children from 8-12 years old. The registration fee ($85) will include a Jr. Ranger shirt, snacks, graduation lunch, and all activities. Friday, June 26th at 11:00 AM, there will be a Junior Ranger Graduation that parents/guardians are encouraged to come celebrate!

Registration will open on April 21st .

IMPORTANT: After you have registered your child, you will receive a registration link and detailed agenda (closer to time of camp for the agenda) via e-mail, so please provide a valid email. You must have this completed to participate. 

Each day Participants will need to:

• Bring snacks
• Arrive in appropriate attire for the day...
• boots, tennis shoes, or a form of close-toed shoes are required
• water day - a type of water shoe is required (no flip flops); arrive with swim attire already on

Registration is first come first serve - online, once you register I will send an email with the link to the documentation that you must fill out before your child can attend.
