Overall Experience

August 13, 2025 G Reat

I learned so much about conservation, sustainability and environmental justice. I also learned to really be present in the moment. There were so many small details that teemed with life if you just took a moment to focus on it. My Spanish also improved considerably. Jonathan O - Phillips Academy
