Every month, the Park Rangers offer various Ranger-Led programs that include educational opportunities, historical fun, and exciting adventures.
All programs are offered for free and take place in one of the many Carson City parks and open space areas.
Online Registration is often required so Park Rangers have a proper head count. All programs are subject to cancellation due to Park Ranger availability; registered participants will be notified.
