Get the kids outdoors with Junior Ranger summer camps

If your kids are interested in nature and the outdoors and are between the ages of 6 and 11, they can try their hand at being a junior ranger.

The Junior Ranger Summer Camp at Saguaro National Park East gives children the chance to explore nature and desert plants and animals in indoor and outdoor settings.

For first-time campers, there are two three-day sessions to choose from — June 6-8 and June 13-15. Campers returning from last year can attend graduate camp June 20-22.

Each session takes place from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and costs $30.
