What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreRayfe loves discovering tiny creatures hiding in the underbrush. Whether he’s watching ants build tunnels or helping a lost snail find its way, Rayfe approaches every adventure with kindness, wonder, and a pocket full of treasures from the forest floor.
Rayfe loves the surprises nature holds most of all, but spiders are his absolute favorite. He’s amazed by the way they spin their webs—so delicate and perfect, like tiny pieces of art floating in the air. While other kids might be scared, Rayfe crouches close to watch them work. To him, every web is a secret message, and every spider is a clever little weaver with a story to tell.
Rayfe’s favorite activity is climbing trees—especially the tall ones with twisty branches that feel like secret stairways to the sky. From high up, he watches birds flutter by and spots spiderwebs glinting in the sun. He imagines a brave cat companion climbing alongside him, leaping from branch to branch as they explore the treetops together. Did I mention that Rayfe’s favorite pet is a cat? He loves how cats move so quietly, like little explorers themselves 🐈🐈⬛
