Mask-making and artifacts will be among the activities Saturday when Fort Vancouver celebrates Junior Ranger Day. It will be based at the Visitor Center, 1501 E. Evergreen Blvd., near the east end of Officers Row, and is free to the public.
The National Park Service uses the annual event to teach children about the nation’s land and heritage, and the people who protect them.
At Fort Vancouver, children from 6 to 12 can complete three activities to earn a Junior Ranger patch and sticker.
Children can make their own mask, inspired by a current exhibit of carved masks on display at the Visitor Center and their own favorite storybook characters.
