Ideas and Feedback
We are excited to launch the ELT Explorer Program. As we continue to develop our children’s hiking and outdoors program, we would love to hear your ideas and feedback! We’re committed to creating an engaging and educational experience that instills a love for nature in young adventurers. What activities do you think would be most enjoyable and beneficial for kids? Are there any specific skills or topics you believe should be emphasized? Your input will help us craft a program that inspires children to explore the great outdoors while fostering their physical, mental, and emotional development. Thank you for your input!
