Thanks for providing Julia with an amazing summer experience; she is turning our house upside down trying to implement some of what she learned from the program!

This was my first time doing a teen program and one of my big concerns was the other kids I’d be spending my summer with.

My daughter definitely had a memorable summer experience. The program seems to have affirmed her decision to engage with sustainability in the future as a career and life-long passion.
