Michael our host was awesome! He made it very fun and interesting and we ALL learned something. All, meaning, Girl Scouts and the adults that were there. Those girls wheels were turning. We really enjoyed ourselves and totally did not expect all that we seen and learned. We can’t wait to experience more field trips with you all.

Everything from start to fnish was very well organized and presented in a way to gain and maintain student interest. The ability for all students to ask questions was equally pleasing. Information was relatable to what the children use and experience daily and provided insights on things they would not usually have to think about
