What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreHe loves immersing himself in the natural world, eagerly exploring its myriad wonders. His curiosity is boundless and often leads him to ask insightful questions as he sees his surroundings. Trees captivate his attention, especially the graceful weeping willow, which he finds particularly enchanting. Engaging all his senses, he relishes the tactile experience of touching leaves, the fragrant aromas of trees and flowers, the symphony of sounds from wildlife, and the visual splendor of outdoors.
He is captivated by crocodiles and alligators due to a blend of visual appeal, intriguing behaviors, and the way they are portrayed in stories and media, especially "Lyle the Crocodile." They are ancient reptiles and have long snouts, sharp teeth, armored scales, and powerful tails that make them stand out.
Nikolai's favorite activity outside is enjoying all the outdoors has to offer. He loves to go on paths to observe the beauty and variety around him. He loves camping and fishing. When we had our camper, he would explore and run around the campground, finding interesting and unique objects in nature. He has a metal detector that he wants to go explore and try to find "buried treasure."
