Become a Junior Ranger

If you're between ages 6–12, you can become a Junior Ranger at Tubac Presidio State Historic Park! Pledge to do your part to help preserve the beauty of the park for everyone to enjoy!

On this page, you can download a Junior Ranger activity for this park that you can complete on your own. It's just one of the fun activities you can do to become a Junior Ranger. After you complete it, bring it with you to the park and you're on your way to becoming a Junior Ranger.

When you visit the park ask for a full Junior Ranger booklet at the Visitor Center. Complete the activities during your visit and then bring it to a Park Ranger for review. When a Park Ranger approves your work you'll be asked to take the Junior Ranger Pledge and get sworn in as our newest Junior Ranger. You'll also be given a Junior Ranger Button. We hope to see you at the park!

Activity Sheet Summary

Life in the Spanish Colony of Tubac: What would your life in Tubac be like in the 1700s? Life was different 200 years ago! Everything you had would have been made by hand. You would have had to make adobe blocks to build a house, raise your own garden and sheep for food, and sew your own clothes. Houses were small, usually only one room. (It’s hard work building with adobe, they didn’t build houses any bigger than necessary!) Most of your family’s activities and cooking were done outside. Answer the following questions and design your own basket.
