Become A Junior Ranger
The Marble Arch Caves Junior Ranger programme is an activity-based experience designed to inspire and engage children aged 6 to 11yrs with the natural world surrounding the Marble Arch Caves. Participants will learn about woodlands, trees, caves, and local wildlife, as well as discover ways they can help protect these precious environments.
Led by our expert Ranger, Dr Kate Crane, children will take part in a variety of outdoor activities, gaining hands-on insight into her fascinating work. At the end of their adventure, they will be officially sworn in as Junior Rangers and awarded an official Junior Ranger certificate.
The Junior Ranger programme is perfect for children interested in:
1. Discovering the landscape around the Marble Arch Caves
2. Learning about the role of the Marble Arch Caves Ranger
3. Exploring nature, conservation, and wildlife
4. Enjoying outdoor adventures and having fun
5. Making new friends
