Massachusetts International Academy


Marlborough, Massachusetts-

Earlier this week we had the chance to introduce Leave No Trace to twelve international students at the Massachusetts International Academy just outside of Boston, MA. The 18-21 year old students in our morning session are preparing for university life in New England through a variety of modern and diverse preparatory academic programs.
The students were challenged throughout our PEAK activities to develop an understanding of ethics focused on enjoying the outdoors responsibly. Each student had the chance to teach us all about considering the 7 principles of our educational program during an entertaining round of Minimum Impact Match.
Thanks to Becky Lawrence for the opportunity to meet and learn with the students and staff on campus. Looking down the road Team East is heading up to Maine for a week of training and outreach in Acadia National Park.

All the best,

Jason and Agata
