“The opportunity you provide is unique - I haven't come across anything else like it, even being from the land of camps in and around DC.
Growing up I was always fascinated by nature and always took opportunities to be outside when I could. A love of nature is what got me where I am today, and I know you are making a difference in kids' lives through this exposure to the outdoors, as well as giving them agency and less structure.
You've created a wonderful environment for them to learn and grow. Thanks again for another great year!”
