Nature Booklets

Ask for a free Junior Ranger (grades K-3) or Wisconsin Explorer (grades 4-6) booklet at Park Headquarters or the Nature Center. Return the booklet to any state park to receive a free patch and certificate. For children too young to participate in the Junior Ranger program, Peninsula offers complimentary coloring books, while supplies last.
