What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreOrion loves the way being in nature makes him feel, the endless possibilities help Orion with his boundless creativity. Orion has an extremely active imagination and the stories the bugs, flowers, trees, and other animals can tell him about their lives (in a scientific way) and their days (in an inventive way) become part of his life and part of his story.
Orion's favorite animal is the cheetah. The cheetah requires people to be brave around it. The cheetah is the fastest animal on land and Orion loves the spots! Every cheetah's spot patterns make them unique - just like fingerprints - and is something that Orion really finds fascinating. Orion is keen to make sure these amazing creatures are protected.
Orion's favorite outdoor activity is taking pictures of nature. Some of his favorite subjects to capture are spiders, squirrels, trees, birds, and where the ocean meets the beach. We had a family of Carolina wrens recently nest in our wreath on our front door which we watched daily!
