Our two boys entering 4th and 5th grade just completed a week of Sea Turtle Camp and it was amazing! Amy, Linda, Diane, and everyone else involved were fantastic - highly energetic, passionate, and immediately made the boys feel comfortable. They learned so many things and came home each day with dozens of stories and facts. They learned to build enrichment devices for the animals in the hospital, talked to the veterinarian and got to "be" veterinarians and treat cases based on past patients. Of all the camps we've been to, this was the highest quality experience by far. I can't recommend it highly enough! Thanks to the entire team for all you do for the turtles and the community!
