Testimonials About The LEAF Program

“Fantastic!”

LEAF provided our campers with an entertaining and informative presentation about Lyme disease prevention. Our campers loved learning more about how to be safe here at camp and would love for them to come back next year for more prevention tips and tricks

Sam Tourville – Camp Ninigret Assistant Director

“Helpful!”

Dr. Fox and her partner Cassidy came to visit our summer camp several times in 2019. Their presentations are extremely beneficial, presenting the information to our young campers in ways that were straightforward and easy to comprehend, even for children. 

Zachary Naegele, Nature Program Supervisor for Fredericksburg’s Parks, Recreation, and Events

“Experts!”

Wow! Ms. Cassidy Colbert did a great presentation for my 4th-grade students. She was very knowledgeable about Lyme Disease and answered many questions from the students. Cassidy had several visual aids and kept the students engaged with her engaging “fact or fiction” game. Ms. Colbert is an asset to our community and has my highest recommendation.

Elaine Marrama, Teacher at Clearspring elementary
