Our experience . . .

​     “I loved the scavenger hunt”. ~ Haven, Student

     “This experience was amazing, our students were so excited about the opportunities and the question they had to answer. Working with Ashley was a DREAM, her passion for educating the youth was contagious, and our whole team had a great time learning, investigating, and working together. As a teacher, I am excited to take what I learned to my own classroom to make it more engaging and fun!” ~ Addy Gerig, Educator

     “I think our biggest growth was in working together.”  ~ Lukas, Student

     "This was a fantastic experience. It was amazing to see how the kids came together and took ownership of their idea and presentation. I learned a lot about leading a group and building a team, and will definitely take these skills back into my classroom in the fall!"  Emily, Educator

​Business Partner Challenge #4:

How can we design an EPIC outdoor experience at the Holland Energy Park?

Our experience . . .

     "Thank you for giving us an opportunity to share our thoughts. I know parks are built for all ages and sizes and abilities and it is hard to satisfy everyone. But getting the chance to speak for the ones that can't, makes us appreciate knowing people do care and are trying to make it well rounded for all." ~ Jeannette, Parent of Participant

     "I liked getting to make a model of our playground to share with everyone" ~ Kaden, Student

     "I love that students were able to make one playspace that is inclusive and allows ALL children to play with each other. Students did a great job incorporating energy into the play space as well!"  ~ Ashley, HEP Employee
