Students who traveled to New Orleans worked at Common Ground Relief to help restore vital wetlands of Southeast Louisiana to protect coastlines and combat climate change. Students and staff potted 500 cypress trees that will eventually be planted in the bayou, and weeded an area for a future composed pile. It was hot, dirty work, but everyone felt their hard work was important to help rebuild the wetlands.

NOLA travelers split their nights in a hostel not far from the French Quarter and in cabins on the water in Bayou Segnette State Park. They experienced Haitian/Creole cuisine, a swamp boat ride, New Orleans Pelicans basketball game, WWII museum, the Audubon Aquarium, Jackson Square, Po’boys, Beignets from Cafe Du Monde, befriended, from afar, an alligator (our “swamp puppy”) at the cabins, rode across the longest continuous bridge over water in the world spanning Lake Pontchartrain, swam at Waveland Beach in Mississippi and so much more. Several students flew for the first time.

Game of Logging is a Leland and Gray Intensive where students work directly with Northeast Woodland Training and over the course of the week completed "Technical School Chainsaw Safety Training." Students worked with experts and learned how to properly use safety equipment and how to properly and safely use a chainsaw. They learned different cuts necessary to safely cut down a tree. They fell trees, cut cookies, and cleaned up the space. Upon completion, students received a certificate of completion in Level 1 Chainsaw Safety. It was powerful to witness!

Adventures in Belize
Thirteen students traveled to Belize to learn about Belizean culture and tropical ecosystems. They spent three nights in the rainforest and hiked to a waterfall, ziplined through the rainforest canopy, tubed through a cave system, and explored Mayan ruins. Then they boarded a boat to Glover's Reef, an atoll 40 miles off the mainland coast. While tenting on the Southwest Caye, they learned how to sea kayak, snorkel, paddleboard, harvest coconuts, and fish, and spent a lot of time exploring coral reefs and tidal environments. It was unBelizeable!

Sound to Stage Intensive Program
- The intensive was centered around how music and stage productions (i.e. plays, movies, live concerts) are created, recorded, produced, and eventually performed live!
- We first went over a presentation on the basics of sound: how we perceive mechanical sound waves, how they are formed, and some basic terms that deal with music production.
- We then visited a local recording studio (Rusty Door Records) and were given a presentation by audio engineers on how they record a song. The kids were then able to record their own song and they were able to do a "group jam" next door at the New American Grill.
- One of our expert presenters then came back to L&G to show students how to work on recording and producing their own music in one of the school's computer resource rooms.
-We then visited the Stone Church in Brattleboro where we were given an in depth tour and presentation on how they setup/perform their audio and light mixing for the many live concerts they host. That same day we also visited the Latchis Theater in Brattleboro for a tour about how they show movies, prepare for live performances, and conduct business.
-On our final day we visited L&G's theater department for a tour in Dutton Gym of the play "She Kills Monsters" that they were preparing to perform (tour done by Mr. Chapin). Next we had a presentation from L&G's Mr. Bernard on live music, music recording, and his own experience in music. We ended the final day with a pizza party celebration!
