(Q2) What do you most remember about your time at GEW? (A2) The most memorable part of being a GEW kid is hard to pick. I did so much at camp and in the community.

Plus, I was able to meet new kids and expand my horizons. (Q3) What is like now that you are in High school, to be coming back and helping younger kids learn on Earth Day? (A3) It feels good to share what I know. To educate on the importance of Earth Day. It is nice to earn money now that I am older.

I pay attention to turning things off when I am not using them. I see connections to nature that I may not have known if I never went to GEW camp. (Q5) What are you next goals? (A5)...

Our sustainability educational tools are aligned with national science standards. Our lessons take a holistic approach to learning, incorporating environmental, health, and social perspectives in a format that children can easily understand. Our mission is to help each child bring out their inner Warrior and to help them learn to see the world through science with an eye towards problem solving. Our goal is to encourage all youth to engage with the world through nature, science, and the arts. We work to help youth develop and apply their own special talents (super powers). We are honored to work with Hartford’s Office of Sustainability and provide this copy of, “Pesky Plastic, an Environmental story”, and the online book readings. We hope you will enjoy the books and the readings, and that they inspire you to dig into science, environmental leadership, and develop your inner warrior.
