My Nonprofit Reviews

For the last two years, I have been granted the opportunity to participate in programming at Ramblewild thanks to grants from Feronia Forward LTD. A simple thank you doesn’t even begin to show my appreciation for this opportunity. I’ve seen astronomical growth in my 1:1 Special Ed student in two years.
In 2022 my student was apprehensive about climbing the trees at BaseCamp. With the help and support of a Ramblewild staff member, my student was able to complete the course one time. He cried and wanted to get down but with positive affirmations from the staff he was able to keep pushing forward and complete the course.
This year (in 2023) my student was so excited to go on the base camp course at Ramblewild. He remembered his positive experiences from the year prior. As soon as we got to ground school and were given the rules, expectations, and demonstration my student exclaimed “Now it’s my turn!”

Our experience in both 2022 and 2023 was nothing short of AMAZING. The staff at Ramblewild went above and beyond with my student! The first year we went Derek followed him on the course and encouraged him to keep going. This year Alex and Jake went above and beyond! Alex followed my student through the course two times and Jake followed him through the course another five times! The whole time they were laughing and smiling. They even talked to him and asked him questions as they did to the general ed students. They didn’t talk over him to me, they waited for his answers, and they went at his pace. It was amazing! They made the whole experience just as accessible to him as it was for the general ed students.

I love Ramblewild, I love the staff and I am beyond impressed with their levels of professionalism and their abilities to accommodate and support a special needs student.
Thank you Feronia Forward for this experience! I cannot wait to see my student continue to grow through experiences like this one!
