Hey Gang! I was just reading about something you and the family can do for free right here in Jacksonville, Florida’s Arlington Area. You can go to the Ft Caroline National Monument Park for FREE. That’s right on September 26th you and your whole family can go to any of the National Parks for FREE.

Here is an excerpt from the parks webpage:

FEE FREE SATURDAY

You can visit the website for the park here at: http://www.nps.gov/TIMU/index.htm

You can also sign your kids up for a free program offered by the Timucuan Preserve:

Junior Ranger Program: The Timucuan Preserve announces a new Junior Ranger program for the national parks of Florida’s First Coast and Georgia’s Golden Isles. The Cultures of the Coast Junior Ranger Program is offered free at Jacksonville’s National Park, the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve. Children who complete the activities are awarded a Cultures of the Coast Junior Ranger badge.

The Cultures of the Coast parks also include Fort Matanzas National Monument and the Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine, Florida; the Timucuan Preserve (Kingsley Plantation) and Fort Caroline National Memorial in Jacksonville, Florida; Cumberland Island National Seashore in St. Marys, Georgia; and Fort Frederica National Monument, located near Brunswick, Georgia on St. Simons Island. The Cultures of the Coast Junior Ranger Program is available at each of these sites.

A new component of the junior ranger program is a digital storytelling activity, where families explore the park and then design and record their favorite park story.”
