What Alumni Are Saying
“The feeling I most remember is the crisp air on my face […] on the back of the sled, whipping around corners and up and down hills.”
— Jack Elliott-Higgins
“It was easy to identify how much progress I was making with these twenty incredible dogs because I was able to tell all of them apart, and they started responding to my cues and body language.”
— Haley Brumberger
“My time at Earth Studies has shown me the importance of a human connection to Mother Earth and given me opportunities for a deep connection with animals that's impossible to find anywhere else.”
— Nora Holmes
