What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreDeclan is endlessly curious about the outdoors—he loves exploring trails, spotting animals, and discovering new bugs and reptiles. Whether he’s listening to birds or turning over rocks to see what’s underneath, he’s always asking questions and learning something new. Nature is his favorite place to play, imagine, and explore. He sees adventure in every leaf, stick, and stream, and finds joy in every moment outside.
Declan loves dogs because they’re fun and always want to play! His dog Belle is his best friend—they run around outside, play fetch, and she cuddles with me when he's tired. She’s really soft and always happy to see me. He thinks dogs are the best because they make everything more fun. He hopes he can meet lots of other dogs on his adventures and maybe even help take care of them like a real ranger!
Declan’s favorite outdoor activities are camping and riding his bike. He loves sleeping in a tent, making s’mores, and looking at the stars. During the day, he rides his bike on trails, pretending he’s on a big adventure. He says camping feels like living in nature and biking is the best way to explore it all. Whether he's zooming around or sitting by the campfire, he’s happiest when he’s outside having fun.
