What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreCharleston loves exploring in nature - finding a hole in the ground and looking for clues to decide who might live there or coming across treasures in the woods by her house. She loves to camp, hike (“even though it makes her sore”) and play barefoot in the yard with her brother and sister. When it's nighttime, Charleston loves looking at the stars and studying the constellations all around her. The Great Bear (Ursa Major) is her favorite!
Charleston's favorite animal is a donkey. She loves donkeys because for her 4th birthday her family took her to meet a local herd and one little guy came up to her and became her friend. He acted so sweetly around Charlee and ate carrots from her hand. She now has quite the collection of donkey accessories - a necklace, a t-shirt and a book.
Charlee loves birdwatching and says she wants to be a birdwatcher when she grows up! Her tools for this hobby are binoculars, her bird book and the bird song ID app on her mama's phone.
