Our Crowdfunding Groups
We reached the goal of $1500. Thank you all for your kind generosity. However, this is just the start of the journey to acquire equipment for the students to participate in this course. I have a set a new goal of $5000. This will get us much closer to being able to purchase backpacks, tents, sleeping bags, stoves, etc... for 10-12 students. What is great is that this equipment will be used every summer.
