“The retreat brings people together, builds community in the forest, gets participants outside and off their screens, and uses nature sustainably to heal and inspire minds and souls,” stated Great Mountain Forest Executive Director Michael Zafros. Retreat registration closes on July 30.
Sage Macken, a Monument Valley Middle School student, has been chosen to represent her community as part of Project 351, a statewide youth service and leadership organization (established by former Gov. Deval Patrick) focused on building unity among non-profits, private businesses, educators, and kids.
Community service “helps our generation as a whole — it influences kids to be more caring. It teaches kids responsibility and how to care for the next generation.”
-- Sean Macken, Great Barrington's ambassador to Project 351
