My child is happiest when he’s learning about animals or outside in the woods collecting sticks, rocks and playing in the mud.

What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreLiam has a big love for the outdoors. We are lucky enough to live close to Brown County State Park in Indiana, where he loves hiking the trails and looking for frogs, turtles, fish, and all kinds of creepy crawlies. Nature is his playground, and his curiosity about the world around him is so fun to watch.
Liam has always had a deep curiosity about animals and the natural world. Right now, his favorite animal is the tiger shark. Of course, his favorite tends to change often because he truly loves learning about all animals, from snakes and foxes to sharks and polar bears. Each new animal he discovers quickly becomes the most fascinating creature in the world to him. The tiger shark currently holds the top spot because he thinks they look cool with their striped markings and powerful bodies.
Liam loves hiking around his favorite lake, searching for sticks and funny-shaped rocks to skip across the water. If his four-legged best friend, Greta, joins the adventure, it’s the perfect day. Sometimes he even surprises his mom by picking flowers for her along the trail.
