What's your favorite place at the Outdoor Lab?
The meadow! I have so many wonderful memories there, from picnicking on the first day of camp to chasing after the Wild Turkey during the Wednesday night scavenger hunt to stargazing.
What's your favorite field trip experience?
My favorite experience from my field trips to the Lab has to be either the night hike or breakfast in the mornings. The night hike gave me a new perspective - to this day, there's a little voice in the back of my head that reminds me "it takes 24 minutes to develop your night vision!". And who doesn't love the Lab tradition of donuts in the mornings?
Has the time you've spent at the Outdoor Lab influenced your future plans?
Spending time at the Lab has made me much more aware of how we interact with the environment. While I'm not yet sure what I plan to do in the future, I definitely embrace being outside and appreciate nature much more because of my time at the Lab. For instance, I'm always looking for hikes and outdoor activities, or talking to my friends about environmental issues. I hope to use the skills I have learned at the Lab in my life as well. For instance, I would love to lead outdoor trips through college clubs and organizations, something I wouldn't have the skills or desire to do without the Lab.
What's your favorite time of year at the Lab?
I love going to the Lab during the summer. Everything is just so alive, especially when it's time for camp. I love the excitement that extends throughout the entire week at camp, and I love how the summer allows you to experience everything the Lab has to offer, from picking wild wineberries to boating to the slip n' slide. However, I may be biased in saying that I think the Lab is beautiful and fun year round.
