The National Park Service offers wonderful opportunities for children at Gettysburg, including:
Junior Ranger Program
Junior Secret Service Program
Join the Army Program
Offered during the summer interpretive season, this program allows children to “join the army” and learn what Civil War soldiers experienced. The program is free, but pre-registration is necessary. Check the park’s website at www.nps.gov/gett for program times.
