Wintergreen Magnet School Student
Favorite Food: Pepperoni Pizza
Favorite Trips this Summer: Ropes Course at Camp Laurelwood and Youth Walk
First I went to breakfast. Then got my bag and water bottle so if I got hot I can drink it. We used the bathroom and got on the bus and off we were to the Regional Water Authority Learning Center. My favorite part there was looking at the bugs under the microscope. I learned how to use a microscope like a REAL scientist. The water we explored was from the Mill River!!! After that we ate lunch at East Rock Park and played games with Gammy. Finally we went swimming. I really like swimming.

- We are an environmental education and youth development non-profit in New Haven, CT. We engage urban youth in their local environment using our unique program model: Kids Explore! (where youth learn about their local ecology and ecosystems) Kids Do! (where youth identify an environmental problem and utilize youth-led action to solve the issue) Kids Teach! (where youth educate others about what they have learned an accomplished). Our curriculum uses hands-on experiential lessons, games, songs and a dedicated staff to teach environmental concepts, build teamwork skills and empower youth. We run several programs, including our afterschool Steward Teams, in-school Hands-on Outdoor Learning Adventure, and our summer Citywide Steward camp. We also facilitate a Youth Advisory Group (YAG), where dedicated participants take leadership in the organization, including running their own programs and sitting on the Board of Directors. Our high school interns work in youth-adult partnership to run all our out of school programs, learning critical skills for future careers and personal growth. Join us as we share our many adventures and accomplishments with you.
