“Thank you for another great year!  I heard nothing but great comments about the outdoor education experience from both students and chaperones.  Thank you for always making us feel so welcome.” (Teacher, Spring 2005)

“Thank you for being a great Naturalist, and I also thank you for teaching us about the ecosystems.  Maybe my sister that goes to science camp next year can be in your group so you can teach her the same amazing things you taught me.”  (Student, Spring 2005)

"I've been to several 'science' camps, but none are as good as MSOE. This year is my 7th year at MSOE. Their program is a dynamic program based on the California Science Standards.... With limited funds and time to teach science, I feel that MSOE gives students a crash course in environmental sciences covering 4th, 5th, and 6th grade science standards.... I would highly recommend MSOE to any school wanting to prepare their 5th graders for the science portion of the STAR test!" (Teacher, Fall 2003)

"The staff there at Mission Springs were just incredible.... The food was wonderful and the accommodations were great.... I learned a lot, and I felt good having all that exercise.... Thanks for a great time." (Parent Chaperone, Fall 2003)

"I think this is a really good way for kids to learn about nature. Instead of sitting in a chair and staring at a book, kids actually got to touch, see, and smell what they are learning about." (Student, Fall 2002)
