Q: Please describe what teens have to say about your program.
A: "Everything about my trip to Hawaii with Bold Earth was spectacular. I looked forward to my trip for months and it lived up to the high expectations that I set. Not only were the activities superb, but also the people on my trip were funny, sociable, and optimistic. We could always share a laugh, whether we were hiking in Waimanu Valley or riding the waves at Magic Sands beach. There are so many memories that I will never forget. Bold Earth Ultimate Hawaii greatly enriched my summer and left me with lifelong friends. I would definitely recommend Ultimate Hawaii to anyone looking to make close friends, experience the outdoors, and have a trip to always remember."
"Bold Earth was the most fun summer I ever had. it gave me a great sense of friendship and family, and at the same time taught me to be more independent. There are gorgeous views around every corner. They gave me freedom, too. while at the same time making sure I was safe. I recomend bold earth very highly."
"This was my first summer with Bold Earth and it was one of the greatest experience of my life. It wasn't like the other summer camps I had been before. Bold Earth was something different, something better. The leaders were great every one on the group was great, I made so many great friends! Every single activity was awesome and thanks to Bold Earth I did things I never thought I could do. But the trip wasn't the only thing that was great, every time I emailed at the office I recived a quick and efficient answer. THANK YOU BOLD EARTH!!!!!"
