Rugged Research Rangers
Rugged Research Rangers
​
'Rugged Research Rangers' are Park Ranger designed and parent-led nature expeditions for kids!
At Rugged Research, we believe in the power of nature-based education to spark curiosity and wonder in children towards the natural world.
Our program uses your local park's diverse ecosystems as a giant, learning laboratory to help your children fall in love with nature and learn about the wild world around them!
What do Rugged Research Rangers do?
Our program helps children explore , discover and learn about the diverse ecosystems right in their own backyard.
We provide hands-on activities and lessons twice a month that encourage students to observe, question, and discover the natural world around them.
​
All RRR programming is led by parents and can take place at your favorite wild places or ones you have not yet discovered!
Create a Pod
Want to make new friends or explore with old ones? Create a RRR Pod!
​
Pods create a collaborative learning environment where students can interact with each other and learn from each other in fun and creative ways.
​
When multiple families are in a pod, parents can rotate between who leads lessons.
​
This is a great way to start your own nature exploration community!
Go Solo
Want to explore on your own schedule? Don't have a pod near you? You can join solo!
​
This is a great option if you don't have a Rugged Research branch near you.
It's also a fantastic option if you want to have more one on one time with your child in nature with some guided assistance.
​
Our staff can even help plan what local parks your family should start exlporing in your neighborhood!
