Earn Zora

Every national park in America offers the Junior Ranger Program. Kids pick up a booklet at the visitor center, complete activities inside the park, and bring it back to a ranger to take the Junior Ranger oath and earn their official badge. It is one of the best ways to get kids off the screen, into the wild, and genuinely connected to the natural world.

Every park has its own booklet. Every badge is different. And every single one is earned, never purchased.

Meet Zora

Zora is a handmade turquoise ceramic owl made in Asheville, North Carolina, and is not available for purchase anywhere. You will not find Zora in any store, on any shelf, or on this website. The only way to bring Zora home is to complete the Junior Ranger Program at any national park in America.

You explored. You learned. You took an oath to protect the wild places. Zora is our gift to you for becoming a national park steward.
