Not only are our special events kid-friendly...several activities, such as this station at the annual Brigade Encampment special event, are led by kids!

The park has many activities specifically designed for our younger visitors.

In addition to a new Audio Tour specifically designed for families with children, the park features a new hands-on exhibit inside the reconstructed Counting House.

This exhibit introduces kids to the fields of history and archaeology through an exploration of the lives of three children who lived at Fort Vancouver.

The park also continues the highly popular Junior Ranger and Kids Dig programs each year. The Junior Ranger self-paced booklet can be obtained at any time at the Visitor Center, and information on the Kids Dig is available by clicking on the link to the right.

For those kids looking for a place to play, the park has a new playground near the Visitor Center!
