Hear From Other Teachers
"The importance of learning about environmental sustainability cannot be overstated. In today's rapidly changing world, equipping our students with the knowledge and skills to address environmental challenges is crucial. This program not only educated them about the significance of preserving our natural resources but also empowered them to take action within their communities.
Overall, the experiential learning provided by Camp Kawartha has been an invaluable asset to our students' education. It has inspired a new generation of environmentally conscious individuals, ready to lead and advocate for a sustainable future. We are immensely grateful for this partnership and the lasting impact it has made on our students' lives. I have been an advocate for the importance of Camp Kawarthas programs over the last decade and the importance in our school board and we look forward to our continued partnership."
