Testimonials<br />

“I was very pleased with the leadership of the WYP<br />

mentors. They were exceptionally good and<br />

responsible with a group of kids that ranged widely in<br />

ages & abilities. Thanks again for heading up such a<br />

super program for children and nature.”<br />

-JOAN LENTZ, AUTHOR OF “THE NATURAL HISTORY OF<br />

SANTA BARBARA”<br />

“I believe that WYP has instilled self-confidence and<br />

a love of life. He respects and admires the leaders and<br />

has developed a deep appreciation for nature. After one<br />

backpacking trip he said he doesn’t need a tent<br />

anymore, because he likes to sleep under the stars.<br />

Wilderness Youth Project summer camps are life<br />

changing.”<br />

-MOTHER OF A WYP TEEN<br />

“WYP provides what kids need desperately today ...<br />

appreciation and commitment to the wilderness, an<br />

opportunity to prove what wonderful things your body<br />

can do (if you only give it a chance), marvelous<br />

experiences outside the confines of structures and, most<br />

importantly experiences that are created by the child<br />

and without a screen!”<br />

-VALERIE OLSON, GRANDPARENT OF A PARTICIPANT
