This is the perfect kids tour for tiny tots that learn by doing. In this hands-on program, we’ll have fun figuring out what it takes to navigate and survive in the Royal National Park.
They’ll develop new skills, use specialised equipment, and discover the vital roles park rangers play in our national parks. Find out about some of our specialty ranger roles including fire-fighting, plant and animal research, whale rescue and helicopter operations.
Spending time in nature is crucial for a child's growth and development. This is the perfect setting to teach them the value of our natural world while they make new friends and learn how they can help shape our environmental future.
