“I recently returned my first Summit at Shanty Creek Michigan. I can’t wait for the next one. It was so well planned / organized. I learned so much and met so many people from such diverse backgrounds. Every day there was always something new to discover – and a wide variety of options to choose from oriented to all ages and abilities. What fun from start to end.”

“I love the interaction between the generations, not just the kids and adults, but the adults of different ages and backgrounds.”

“I think what had the biggest impact for me was the enthusiasm of the summiteers and the faculty. It was a reawakening to see how excited folks became just to see a butterfly sipping from a flower or a crawdad in a creek. Sometimes we forget the natural wonders around us and how satisfied a simple discovery can make us feel.”

“There is really nothing out there like Family Nature Summits. My family and I travelled quite a bit around our little blue sphere and tried quite a few vacations on for size…. yet year after year we keep coming back to the Summits.”

“I loved having the kids engaged in something special so I could head out guilt free for a day of something meaningful to me!”

“Every child in America should go to a Family Nature Summit….at least once! We would be a better country for it, I’m convinced.”

“I love getting together with like-minded nature enthusiasts. The entire staff I was involved with was very accommodating and eager to please.”
