Parks Canada Xplorers Program! (The Canadian Version of the US National Park Service Junior Ranger Program!)

Working on a Parks Canada Xplorers Program at Elk Island National Park


Are you planning a Canadian Family Vacation? A great way to keep the kids busy and happy is by having them become Xplorers! The Xplorers program offers great opportunities to have fun together as a family!

When you arrive at participating Parks Canada locations, children will receive an Xplorers booklet filled with fun activities that will guide your discovery of each unique place you visit.

At the end of your visit, kids will receive an official collectable souvenir recognizing them as Parks Canada Xplorers!

How many can YOU collect?!
