What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreJulian loves the discovery that nature offers. He enjoys exploring off the trail, lifting rocks, walking through creeks, and noticing the hidden creatures around him. Being outside fills him with wonder and reminds him that the world is beautifully designed and worth caring for. Nature makes him feel connected in his faith, grateful for its beauty, and excited to keep exploring.
Julian’s favorite animal is the black bear. He likes learning about how black bears behave and how they usually avoid people in the wild. He thinks it’s really cool how they are perfectly designed to live in the forest. Learning about bears makes him want to teach others how we can understand them and respect their space so they can stay wild.
Julian’s favorite outdoor activity is practicing bushcraft. He enjoys learning how people can live in the forest using the resources around them, like building shelters, starting fires, and understanding how nature works. He thinks it’s amazing how the forest already has everything you need if you know how to use it. Bushcraft lets him be creative with the materials around him, and it makes him want to teach others how they can survive while being good stewards of the woods.
