Junior Ranger Program

Kids ages 5-12 can be a Junior Ranger here at Pipestone National Monument! To become a Junior Ranger, stop by the information desk in the visitor center and ask for a Trailsheet and a Circle Trail booklet. As you explore the Circle Trail with your family, look for clues that will help you complete the trailsheet. You may work on the questions while on the trail, or if you get stuck, you may complete the trailsheet with a ranger in the visitor center. When finished, kids receive a certificate of completion and a Pipestone National Monument Junior Ranger badge. Through the Junior Ranger program, both children and adults have fun while exploring and learning about Pipestone National Monument. This program is available anytime the visitor center is open.
