Teen team quote and 2009 signup
The father of one of our teen team members just sent us this great note:
"My son...returned from his Costa Rica monkeys teen expedition a few weeks ago. He loved it. Everything about it was great. Earthwatch was fantastic about organization, and making sure that everything went smoothly. Tracie (the researcher) and Nancie (the other adult) were fabulous. Mickey was inspired. He wants to lead Earthwatch trips some day. It was one of the best experiences Mickey has ever had. From the point where the teens got to contact each other and Tracie by e-mail, through the coordination over flight delays, to bringing the kids to the airport to go home, Earthwatch has been a paragon of organization, efficiency, courtesy, and caring.
"Although I did not go on the trip, I would like to say that from my perspective as a parent, Earthwatch was fantastic. I would highly recommend it to any parent whose teen is considering any of your expeditions."
Our Field Operations group works very hard to make sure that our teen and SCAP teams are fun, interesting, safe, and provide the same research experience as our adult teams. It's great to hear that they've done so well :)
Our teen teams for this summer are all full, but we're already signing teens up for 2 of next summer's dozen or so teams:
Climate Change at the Arctic's Edge, Aug 1 - 11, 2009, in Churchill, Manitoba. This is a GREAT project, compiling critical climate change data - and it's an amazing place to be! We don't have a 2009 page yet - here's the 2008 page: view link
Roman Fort on Tyne, July 12 - 25, 2009, in South Shields, England. This is a serious archaeology project, unearthing a very large settlement from the first century A.D. - this project doesn't have a teen page yet - here's the 2008 adult project page: view link
If you're interested in going on a teen team next summer, give us a call at 800-776-0188, or send an email to info@earthwatch.org.
