Junior
Ranger Program
Coral Pink Sand Dunes
The Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park offers a Junior Ranger program much like
those at the national parks of the area. Inquire at the entrance gate when entering
the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. The program is for kids ages 6 -12, but
there are alternate worksheets for younger kids.
Playing at the Sand Dunes
Some people go to movies, some people go hunting, some people play tennis,
but others just like to play in the sand. The Coral Pink Sand Dunes is one place
where a list of activities does not need to be made for children. The entire
Coral Pink Sand Dunes is a huge sand box ready for play. Bring shovels, buckets,
forms and create to your hearts content. Build sand castles, roll down the hills
or take the nature hike.
Coral Pink Sand Dunes at Night
Starry nights are incredible at the sand dunes. There are no city lights out
on the sands to detract from the shimmering stars above. Several times a year
there is a telescope set up and someone there to describe the stars above.
Family Fun
A family can have a lot of fun playing on the rolling dunes at the Coral
Pink Sand Dunes. Stay in the campgrounds where there are nice showers to spry
off the sand or head to Mount Carmel Junction, 11 miles away and stay in the
East Zion Riverside RV Park. Spend the day in the sands and relax by the pool
at the Thunderbird while kids swim in the pool. This is an economical family
trip either way.
Things to Think About
How does the moisture in a sand dune relate to the plants
growing there?
Find out how plants survive at the dunes.
Playing with little kids in the Sand
Let your kids take off their shoes and wiggle their toes in the sand, then
their fingers. Ask them how their fingers feel as they glide down to the cool layer
of sand. How does the sand feel when damp and dry? Is it gritty, grainy, coarse,
fine, hot or cold? Encourage them to pat, sift, pour, measure and make castles.
