Testimonials

“Eastern Woodlands taught multiple classes to our Girl Scout Troop. They combined a few of their programs to fit our camp theme and time schedule. The girls loved seeing all of the animal furs they brought and they loved learning to use the Native American Atlatl. I would highly recommend them!” - Rachel, Girl Scout Leader, PA
