"The program exceeded my expectations. I was worried about fitting it on grade level, the staff nailed it. They knew they were tired and did not get discouraged. Getting the kids out of the boat and teaching in the water was the best. Mote coming to teach about the coral reef was exceptional."

The experience was fantastic, and our..." Read more
