A few testimonials from our presenters.

"Congratulations on once again creating fabulous learning! So good to have kids outside! The emergency contact info so clearly given is so very smart."

"Super well organized and so amazing all the presenters and students. I love the Jeff & Paige environmental music.  It was cool and the Fort folks I think really liked having that time so you might want to leave as is. Very cool place and the costumed Historic folks were welcoming."
