Volunteer Information
"The
excited expressions on the faces of the children brought it all home for
me. I would wholeheartedly recommend volunteering to those who wish to
help instill a lifelong passion for nature in kids, while feeling truly
connected with caring and dedicated adults."-Stephanie Etley, summer camp volunteer
