Last summer CCF renewed its historic tradition of providing”camperships” to Carlisle students by awarding two scholarships to Drumlin Farm/Mass Audubon Summer Camp. Jenn Fantasia participated in the Adventurers Program for seventh and eighth graders. In her thank you letter she wrote “At the end of the two weeks I had not only a better understanding of the environment and how it works, but also many great memories of the times I had with my group mates. Without your generosity I would not have had half as great a summer.” Georgia Guttadauro, now a Carlisle third grader, attended the Explorers Program which focused on learning about plants and wildlife in the woods, ponds, fields and drumlins. “If everyone picks leaves off trees,” wrote Georgia, “and takes animals to a different place, there wouldn’t be any leaves on trees and they would die and animals won’t be places any more and they might die. Now I am going to help nature as much as I can and I’ll ask my friends to also.”
CCF is proud to encourage the conservationists of the future!
