This obstacle course is open to kids between grades 1st - 3rd and 4th - 6th. It is designed to test the skills Park Rangers use on a daily basis. The course consists of 5 stages and will be a racing event testing 5 Jr Rangers at a time. The top three participants from each time slot with the fast time will be awarded a prize within their grade groups. Prizes will be awarded at the Jr. Ranger Olympics booth.
1st Stage: Kids will be asked to pack their provided backpack as fast as they can with all the items given to them. There is no specific way to pack it. Some items will be used further along in the course. Once the pack is packed, kids will need to put it on and move onto the next stage.
2nd Stage: This stage will test a Jr. Ranger's ability to clean up the trails of trash. They will use the mutt mitt provided to them in their backpack to collect a piece of trash. Once they successfully made the trash into the can, they can move onto the next stage.
3rd Stage (4th-6th graders only): As a Jr. Ranger, it's an important ability to sort brochures to properly hand them out to visitors. Participants will use 3 of the 4 brochures provided to them from their backpack and place them in the correct location on a table. Once brochures are sorted, they must crawl under the table and move onto the next stage.
4th Stage (Parents Assist with 1st-3rd graders): This stage will test the first aide ability of Jr. Rangers. They must locate their alien, find the injuries and bandage them up. Participants will need to remember to put on their gloves before using the band aids on the aliens.
Final Stage: The final stage will test a Jr Ranger's navigation ability. Jr Rangers must make their way through a maze in order to get to the finish line. As Jr Rangers cross the finish line, their time will be noted and written on their bib.
