“My kids and my best friends’ kids are very shy around new adults, but our ranger, Dave, started out discussing some bear poop, and right away, the kids opened up and loved him. I have never seen them more engaged and willing to ask questions than with him. Finally, they wouldn’t leave him alone (and he didn’t mind!) And they were picking up anything and everything to ask him what it was.” 
- Boulder Homeschool Mother

The essence of nature guiding is to travel gracefully rather than arrive. - Enos Mills,
