What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreFrom the moment she could walk, she was drawn to the outdoors—fascinated not just by the obvious beauty of flowers and trees but by the tiny, often-overlooked creatures that call the natural world home. Whether we are on a hike in the woods, exploring a park, or simply walking through our backyard, she is always on the lookout for new bugs and animals to discover. With an endless curiosity, she gently lifts rocks, peers into tall grass, and examines tree bark, hoping to catch a glimpse of life.
My daughter’s favorite animal is the ocelot because of its beauty, mystery, and wild spirit. She’s fascinated by its sleek spotted coat and how it moves so silently through the forest. She loves how ocelots are both fierce and graceful, and their independence reminds her of her own curious and brave nature.
My daughter’s favorite activity is camping because she loves being surrounded by nature. She enjoys setting up the tent, helping build the campfire, and sleeping under the stars. Exploring trails, spotting animals, and roasting marshmallows are the highlights of every trip. Camping gives her a sense of adventure and peace, away from screens and noise. It’s where she feels happiest—free, curious, and connected to the world around her.
