Junior  Ranger  Jamboree  2026

Join us at Myakka’s beautiful South Pavilion for a fun-filled, family-friendly day of outdoor adventure and nature discovery! This exciting event is perfect for kids of all ages and offers a variety of FREE* activities designed to spark curiosity and connection with the natural world.

Throughout the day, young explorers can:

• Visit interactive Junior Ranger stations led by park rangers
• Take part in hands-on activities and collect stamps in a Junior Ranger passport
• Discover local wildlife, ecosystems, and essential outdoor skills
• Work toward earning an official Junior Ranger badge

In addition to the stations, families can enjoy games, a cozy reading area, and lively music from a DJ sponsored by Friends of Myakka River—plus plenty of other engaging activities happening all around!

No registration is required—come and go as you please. Both self-guided and ranger-led experiences will be available throughout the event.
