Splash into the world of aquatic insects!
Join us at Eldorado Canyon State Park to learn about the importance of aquatic insects in South Boulder Creek, which flows through the park. We will also learn how to catch some cool aquatic insects in the creek!
Our Junior Rangers program is perfect for young naturalists who want to learn more about these tiny creatures that play a big role in our ecosystem.
The Junior Rangers program is designed for children ages 6 to 12 who are interested in exploring the natural environment, making new friends, and having fun. After attending three Junior Ranger events throughout the summer, participants are eligible to receive an official "badge."
Please note: children must be accompanied by an adult at all times for Junior Ranger events.
The program is free with a Colorado Parks and Wildlife State Park pass, otherwise admission is $10 per car or $4 walk-in.
