Elementary school kids love the Boston Harbor Islands' free Junior Ranger program.  If you are planning a visit to Boston Harbor Islands, go to this website and print out the Junior Ranger activities booklet.  Kids will learn about the plants, animals, rocks, and history of the park while completing the activities.  To complete the program, kids attend a ranger program, complete activities in the workbook, and promise to take care of Boston Harbor Islands. Then, take the completed booklet to any National Park Service ranger who will check your answers, sign your booklet and give you an official Boston Harbor Islands Junior Ranger pin.  Lots of fun and the boat trip is half the fun! See the ferry schedule here.
