"Our sincerest thanks to both of you and your instructors... a wonderful time at the school...have come home with a deep appreciation for the wilderness. The memories of such intense learning and personal growth will carry us throughout our lives. We appreciate the vision you had in starting such a school and being able to teach such a wealth of knowledge. " – Past Hooksum Participants
" I have been having the most wonderful summer so full of fun kayaking as an assistant guide and all of this was because of your program! On each trip people ask how an 18 year old is a guide, and I answer by telling them about the amazing leadership program. All of the skills and certifications have given me a solid foundation, but it is all the little things that I am most grateful for, like the connection to the land, connection with the whole group of people, and creating a beautiful community that focused on body, mind, and spirit, and most of all the empowerment that you receive from all this put together. "

"I was sad to leave this amazing place, but happy to have spent 28 days with gifted people, teachers and friends. The environment provided by Steve and Karen has done wonders for my body, mind and spirit and soul. An education like no other."
