With Junior Explorers, nature- and animal-loving kids ages 5–12 are free to travel around the globe without ever leaving their homes. In an effort to inspire the next generation of environmental leaders, Junior Explorers organizes a fun and exciting new nature and wildlife-related mission for subscribers every month. Each mission starts at home when a kit full of collectibles, activities, and information about the mission arrives in the mail.

The exploration continues online, where kids can log on to the Junior Explorers' safe and secure online platform to continue the mission. This entails playing games, earning rewards, and working with Kia and Kyle, the characters that join Junior Explorers on each adventure. One month, Junior Explorers might be searching for a lost polar bear in the arctic; the next month, they might be learning about creatures in the Amazon River.
