Review for Environmental Volunteers, Inc., Palo Alto, CA, USA

Rating: 3 stars  

It was fun and had a lot of building involved. There were fun activities and games. A lot of the stuff we did related to alternative energy and fuel. I learned a little-not lots, but a little.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

building a vehicle using an energy source other than fossil fuel. I used solar panels.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

fun, good at their job but in a fun way, and generally kept the kids under control.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

build a nice camp in a nice building so we're not just outside all the time. It could provide food that is good for the environment and has less packaging. It could buy materials that are more environmentally friendly.

Ways to make it better...

the camp had shorter hours--I don't like long long hours. Also, if it were in a climate controlled building. It was hot outside

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

how the counselors have to deal with campers they haven't met before. That must have been hard.
