Old Stone Fort will be hosting our annual Jr. Ranger Camp this year on June 22nd-26th from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Our camp will be full of opportunities to experience nature, history, wildlife, safety, and a chance to be outside! At the end of the week, each participant will be sworn in as a Junior Ranger for Tennessee State Parks.
This camp is open to children from 8-12 years old. The registration fee ($85) will include a Jr. Ranger shirt, snacks, graduation lunch, and all activities. Friday, June 26th at 11:00 AM, there will be a Junior Ranger Graduation that parents/guardians are encouraged to come celebrate!
Registration will open on April 21st .
IMPORTANT: After you have registered your child, you will receive a registration link and detailed agenda (closer to time of camp for the agenda) via e-mail, so please provide a valid email. You must have this completed to participate.
Each day Participants will need to:
- Bring snacks
- Arrive in appropriate attire for the day...
- boots, tennis shoes, or a form of close-toed shoes are required

Registration is first come first serve - online, once you register I will send an email with the link to the documentation that you must fill out before your child can attend.
