What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreMy son’s favorite part of nature is the magic of rain. He loves how it transforms the world into a giant playground of mud and puddles. For him, nature isn't just something to look at—it’s something to jump into. Whether he’s splashing through water or getting dirty in the earth, he finds pure joy in the messy, hands-on fun that only the great outdoors can provide.
My son says his favorite animal is the lion because its the "King of the Jungle." To a six-year-old, the lion represents the ultimate strength and leadership of the wild. He loves the idea of a powerful, majestic animal that rules over the land with a roar, embodying the bravery and wonder that makes nature so exciting to explore.
My son says he loves bouncing on his trampoline, digging deep holes in the earth, or finding worms and planting seeds. He tossed a bunch of pumpkin seeds on the front lawn in front of the house to watch them grow. To our surprise they did and took over the entire front of our home. He was so pleased with himself.
