What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreHe thinks this world is Amazing! Exploring nature helps him feel closer to his creator. The more he learns about all of the beautiful, unique and different places & things in this world the more he realizes God created it for him. He never gets tired of learning about nature. There are so many different things to see and learn about. He is never bored.
Hedgehogs are Awesome! When Cooper was young he had a hedgehog stuffy that went everywhere with him. After reading about Hedgehogs in the National Geographic for Kids he realized they are so cool. They are immune to some poisonous plants which they chew up and then spread their saliva on their spikes making their spikes poisonous. They have a lot of spikes too, about 5,000 and their spikes can glow under ultraviolet light.
Exploring the outdoors and going on hikes. Cooper hikes with family to waterfalls, bridges & secret beaches. He has hiked on the Oregon coast, in California and in Hawaii. We go on backpacking trips too. He, his dad & brothers are planning a trip to Lake Tahoe this summer to summit Freel Peak. He also enjoy rafting and swimming with his family down the Rogue River, fishing, camping and snow skiing. Most of the summer He is in the water at the beach or river. He loves the outdoors!
