OHV Jr. Ranger Program

The OHV Jr. Ranger Program is the perfect hands-on opportunity for youngsters, ages 6 - 11, to learn about safe riding practices and gain an appreciation of their riding environment. During the guided educational OHV ride participants will uncover many Hollister Hills mysteries. Be sure to download and complete the activity book, to prepare youngsters for the guided OHV program. The program promotes principles of responsible outdoor recreation to empower youth to do their part and help sustain OHV recreation.

The OHV Jr. Ranger Program is free to the public and is offered most weekends. The program length is approximately 2 hours. Please check program availability, time and location on the Interpretive Schedule posted on the Education Programs web page and at the park entrance kiosk.

Program space is limited. The maximum number of participants is 10 per program. Reservations are on a first-come, first-served basis. We recommend pre-registering and will accept 8 pre-registered participants with 2 spots available for drop-ins. Pre-registration is finalized after required forms are completed, turned in, and the participant’s parent receives a confirmation email or phone call.
