What an awesome experience we had this summer at our two science camps. To our great pleasure, Mehak Arora attended both camps, and she shares her reflections here. We were inspired by our teen students’ love of environmental stewardship. It’s our joy that what we do at the Center enriches the lives of future conservationists. (And make a note: We’ll be offering both camps again next summer.)
