At Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery
Junior Ranger Program

No matter who you are or where you live, fishing is a great way to spend time outdoors with friends and family. For safe and enjoyable fishing trips, visit national fish hatcheries, national parks and national wildlife refuges. It you’re ready to learn, explore and have fun, fishing is for you.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Park Service created a Junior Ranger program about fishing. Junior rangers are typically between the ages of 5 and 13, but anyone can participate. Learn about the basics of fishing. Then plan an exciting trip to a national wildlife refuge , national park or national fish hatchery that offers great fishing opportunities.

For more information about the Junior Ranger Program at Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery and how children can earn a Junior Ranger badge and receive it on-site or by mail, please contact Environmental Education/Outreach Specialist Marsha Hart.
