What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreBen loves all animals! And he loves just looking at nature! We go hiking to places with breathtaking views, but even a hollowed out tree that houses a family of squirrels is beautiful to him!
Ben loves wolves! They're the closest animal to his favorite household pet, dogs! He thinks it's awesome that they live in packs. That they're family!
For Ben it's a toss-up between hiking and football! He likes looking at maps and finding the different trails that lead us to things like waterfalls and outlooks. And he has so much energy that he loves the long trails!! He finds everything outdoors beautiful. The trees, the flowers, the waterways, the animals. And he loves football and being able to get outside onto the field and play with his team. They're just like another family!
