“Thank you for another great year. I have been coming to Mission Springs for three years now and each year continues to be as enjoyable and educational as the last. The time and effort that you and your staff put into making this week at science camp a life long memory for my students is greatly appreciated. This week is a huge event at our school and the naturalists do an outstanding job at making the science curriculum come alive for our students.” –Teacher, Spring 2009

“This year I think the new features were a great idea! As usual, this experience allows students to learn to appreciate nature, learning survival skills, and realize that whatever happens, life goes on. I defiantly see an amazing change - for the better - in the kids who come on this trip.” –Teacher, Spring 2009

Excerpt from a letter written by Dawn Vollmar, Science and Technology Coordinator at Foulks Ranch Elementary School:

“In the course of my 23 years of education, I have had the opportunity to participate in several Outdoor Education Programs as a classroom teacher, a parent, a Science specialist, and as an administrator.  I would rank Mission Springs Outdoor Education program at the top of the list for getting the “most bang for your buck” for several reasons – including the diversity of class offerings, the level of training of the Naturalists, the location, and the accommodations… I would without reservation recommend Mission Springs Outdoor Education to any school fortunate enough to have parents, students and a staff that support this unique style of learning!”
