Receive Text UpdatesConnor, a free-living 10-year-old, loves the adventure in nature most—climbing rocks, exploring trails, discovering bugs, and feeling the wind rush past as he hikes. He loves how nature makes him feel free, curious, and brave. Whether he’s whittling a stick, listening to birds, or camping under the stars, Connor finds joy in every wild, muddy, sun-drenched moment outdoors. Nature isn’t just a place he visits—it’s where he belongs.
Connor’s favorite animal is the bald eagle—because he loves America! To him, the bald eagle is strong, free, and fearless—just like the spirit of adventure he feels when he’s outside exploring. Watching one soar through the sky reminds him to always be bold, proud, and never afraid to fly high.
Connor’s favorite outdoor activities are whittling and hiking. He loves hiking because it feels like an adventure with every step—new trails, cool bugs, and hidden treasures to discover. And when he takes a break, he pulls out his pocketknife to whittle, carving sticks into creative shapes. It’s his way of turning nature into something uniquely his—one trail, one twig at a time.
