Location of Grayson Highlands State Park in Virginia

Where

Grayson Highlands State Park, 829 Grayson Highland Ln., Mouth of Wilson, VA 24363.
Campground

When

June 6, 2024. 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

This week's theme for Junior Rangers is Aquatic Ecosystems. We will be hunting for salamanders and testing how watersheds work. Come up with a water superhero name. Enjoy all things aquatic. If you are camping, drop your kids off with the rangers for a few hours and enjoy a kid free hike. 

Outdoor and weather appropriate clothing must be worn as we will be exploring the park; getting dirty and wet are both strong possibilities! Closed-toed shoes are required every day. Please don't forget to bring a snack and a reusable water bottle, as well as apply sunscreen and bug spray before the program begins.

Pre-registration and payment are required in advance. You can register by calling the Park Office during work hours. If you are registering more than one child, please reserve the appropriate number of spots. Payment can also be completed over the phone or in-person by stopping by at the Park Office.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes early as we will need the parent/guardian to fill out an emergency contact form for their child. An adult listed on the emergency contact form must sign the child in/out, and a valid photo ID must be presented.
