Keiki 8 to 13 years old are invited to “Find Your Park” and become junior rangers through Hawaii Volcanoes National Park’s Keiki o Hawaii Nei summer program.
The fun-filled, three-day program is from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. June 24-26.
Keiki o Hawaii Nei is designed to encourage a child’s enthusiasm for discovery by connecting them with the park’s resources and staff, and to inspire their appreciation of what is uniquely Hawaiian by exploring the natural and cultural heritage of Hawaii.
Participants must bring and be able to carry their own day pack with water, snacks, lunch, and rain gear, and hike up to 3 miles over uneven terrain at a leisurely pace.
To reserve a space, call the Friends of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park at 985-7373 or email institute@fhvnp.org.
The deadline to register is Friday.
Children will explore Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and visit the national parks on the west side of Hawaii Island. Transportation is provided, and there is no cost to enroll.
The summer Keiki o Hawaii Nei program is co-sponsored by the Hawaii Pacific Parks Association and the Friends of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
