Cumberland Island: Junior Ranger Program Activity Guide for Ages 5-7

Cumberland Island is a wild, windswept place where ancient live oaks draped in Spanish moss tower over salt marshes, where loggerhead turtles nest on pristine beaches, and where feral horses still run free. This Junior Ranger activity guide invites children ages 5-7 to become explorers of this extraordinary Georgia barrier island through puzzles, observations, and hands-on activities designed just for them. Young readers will learn to identify birds, discover how dunes protect the coastline, and understand why protecting this wilderness matters. The guide turns a visit to Cumberland Island into an adventure of discovery, giving kids a real mission: to observe, record, and protect the natural world around them. Perfect for families planning a trip to Georgia's largest and most ecologically significant barrier island, or for any child curious about America's wild places.
