Winter Break 2024 Participant
The group trip to Hinewai Reserve was the most rewarding part of the program. This place stands out as a shining example of what can be accomplished when you dedicate yourself to bettering the environment. Getting the opportunity to meet Hugh was so lucky, and honestly inspiring, as he really showcases a lot of the virtues I love about people, and was more than happy to stop and chat with us students, even when we weren't scheduled to see him at all.

Winter Break 2025 Participant
I loved the hands-on learning experiences! Whether I was working in the community garden or getting a tour of a local business to learn about how they incorporate sustainability, it was an immersive and much more rewarding experience than a traditional classroom setting.

For future students I would recommend making the most out of each moment on this adventure. Don't take anything for granted and don't turn down any opportunity to try something new. Also, bring a nice day bag and a swimsuit!
