We just wanted to say a big thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for our child this week.  We haven't seen him so passionate about an activity for so long and seeing him get excited about sharing his experiences and looking forward to the next day gave us so much joy as parents. Thank you for letting children be children and get dirty and explore and play and imagine.  Even more so during this time of turmoil for the world.  Juliana (August 2020)
