Participant Comments

“I didn’t think I would learn much at this training.  I was pleasantly surprised at how great an experience this was. – How different camping is as a Leader.  Great job!!”

“I also wanted to let you know that training was very helpful last weekend (and last Monday).  The trainer had just such practical, realistic suggestions and a very calming demeanor (which I especially appreciate).  It was very hard for me to commit 24 hours away from home for a volunteer position, but can admit now the usefulness of the format.  Thanks.”                           

“I must say....it's so hard to leave "home' to get away to do this training with all the craziness at home, but it was well worth it! The trainers were all great!! The weekend was MORE fun than training!!  I am really glad we got to do this!  We re looking forward to the weekend in October at Bonnie Brae!  Thanks.”

“At first I was dreading the training.  Who has the time?  The trainers did a great job and made it fun.  The outdoor cooking tips and education on different types of cooking was terrific.  Thanks!"
