What does Benji love most about nature?

He loves exploring nature, from hiking the Black Hills to cold plunging at Devil’s Bathtub. This wild, fun boy fishes for everything from rainbow trout to sturgeon, plays soccer and football outside, ride bikes, and jumps in the river. He enjoys having friends over, listening to birds on walks, photographing nature, and laughing while sliding down rocks and hills. Nature is where he feels happiest!


What is Benji's favorite animal—and why?

His favorite animals are capybaras, which he learned from Ranger Rick can run up to 22 miles per hour! He also loves frogs, which are cute, plump, and fun to watch!


What is Benji's favorite outdoor activity?

His favorite outdoor activity is playing and exploring with friends and family. He loves jumping on the trampoline, riding bike trails, climbing hills, and splashing in rivers. He enjoys fishing, running around playing soccer and football, and being silly in the sun. Sometimes he pauses to listen to the birds or take photos of animals and nature. Being outside, laughing, and having fun is his absolute favorite!
