What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreGrowing up, we’ve always been a family that enjoys being outside. Arik loves nature the most because it is calming for him and a great place to spend time together.
Ariks favorite animal is a Lion- his name quite literally means “Lion of God” so he has always enjoyed that.
Arik loves to go hiking and camping with our family and dogs. Also any opportunity that presents some rock scrambling and he’s in!
