"I really enjoyed my time at Hurricane Island. I learned about right whales, lobstering, erosion, how people cause it in their own way and what we can do to slow it down, and how to take care of our environment and how we affect it. My friends and I grew closer and learned about ourselves and the world on Hurricane Island. The opportunities the island offered us extends beyond just our single visit. Hurricane Island staff have offered us time and resources if we ever need them. If we want to intern there, they are willing to help. If we just need them to answer a complex question, they are willing to help. More kids should have access to these types of opportunities because they are once in a lifetime."

"Hurricane Island was an amazing experience where students were able to learn from nature itself, and have hands-on activities that couldn't be replicated in the classroom. From going on a boat to see how Hurricane Island's aquaculture farm to dissecting the live scallops ourselves, it gave the students a new fascination on how everything works. The microorganisms that we collected samples of when just going outside and walking a couple of feet to the ocean & dock was readily available, and so were most of the other resources. The sustainability of the island was eye opening to see how things work in a different area than what we normally see. Hurricane Island was a way to build friendships with others and learn without being in a classroom setting and schedule, which was a way to fully immerse students into a new environment."
