Remarks from the 2015 Wilderness Skills Fund Scholarship Recipient
"Experiencing the Colorado River in Utah and rafting through both flat water and at times scary whitewater rapids, I had the time of my life. Nothing will ever replace this period of time in my mind where I have made so many personal milestones.
I would like to thank you with with all of my being for allowing me to experience this because it has changed me personally, physically, emotionally and socially on so many levels and I do believe it was an excellent transition and catalyst into my soon to be adult life.
I appreciate people, nature and myself in a whole new way that I wasn't even sure was there.
Thank you Again.
Truthfully,
LJB"
