In my 25 years of teaching at Hunt Hill I've seen over 1000 central city young people change their attitudes and feelings about the environmental aspects of air, water, land and stewardship. The dedicated staff guided them through a week of hands-on instruction that resulted in attitude changes that last through high school and into young adult life. By week's end, these participants have learned to survive without technology, make friendships with diverse cultures and appreciate the world around them. The testimonials by these participants indicates they have been deeply affected by their Hunt Hill experiences of canoing, outdoor learning classes and personal interactions. I believe Sigurd Olson and Aldo Leopold would be proud of this program.
