In conjunction with the ever-popular "Author Day" events held at both public
and private schools each year, Ranger Ken puts on a real campfire
program! Well, the campfire isn't real because principals frown on
real campfires in their schools' cafeterias and multi-purpose rooms. But
everything else is real, from the campfire songs that students
participate in to the skits that help kids learn more about nature to the
hand-held objects shared with your students, such as a beaver-chewed
tree, animal skulls, snake skins, pine cones, special rocks, shells,
feathers, and more!
Ranger Ken generally conducts two campfires at each school program,
one for the K through 3rd graders and a second for the 4th through 6th
graders. Although the programs are similar and each takes approximately
one hour (program length can be changed to meet
individual school
needs), the content for each program is modified slightly to be age/grade
appropriate.
Ranger Ken is also available on a limited basis to speak to nonprofit organizations, churches, youth groups, and home-school groups.
Ranger Ken's Author Day appearance fee, which includes his personal
campfire program (two programs--grades K-3 and 4-6), is $100 for the day.
If you represent a smaller private school, church group, or service
organization, please contact us for a rate quote. Reasonable travel costs may be charged
if your school is located more than 100 miles from Sacramento,
California.
If your school is more than 100 miles from Sacramento, contact us! If Ranger
Ken can get two, three, or more schools in your area to book programs on
consecutive days, travel fees will be reduced or eliminated.
