What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreTheo loves that nature is always full of surprises—logs to balance on, feathers to find, and creatures to meet and care for. He’s happiest outside, discovering animal tracks, digging in the dirt, and splashing across streams. Nature is his playground, classroom, and favorite place to be.
Theo’s favorite animal is the turtle. He loves how they carry their homes, can live on land or in water, and always seem calm. He gently catches them, checks to see where they came from, then returns them to their turtle family—he says it’s his way of helping them find home again.
Theo’s favorite activity is digging in the garden to find worms, then using them to catch fish. He started with sunfish and now dreams of catching his first bass with a frog lure. Whether he’s knee-deep in dirt or watching his bobber bounce, fishing connects him to nature in every season.
