What is Wilderness Explorers?

The Wilderness Explorers activity is a series of fun, nature-themed self-guided activities and challenges that range from animal observation to learning important wilderness skills. You can collect over 25 badges (stickers) and earn the right to echo the Wilderness Explorer call: Caw! Caw! Roar!

The Wilderness Explorers activity is themed to the Disney·Pixar film Up. Speaking of Up, Dug and Russel recently returned to the Wilderness Club House meet & greet for the first time since Spring 2020.
