Crystal Springs, which our school has been visiting since 2016, provides a wonderful opportunity for students to connect with nature and deepen their understanding of science. The combination of diverse ecosystems, engaging programs like "Rolling in the River" and "Florida chemistry," and knowledgeable staff make it a valuable learning experience for my students. The fact that they continue to talk about their experiences months later and can apply the skills they've learned in the classroom speaks volumes about the effectiveness of the programs offered there and the staff that is running the programs.

I absolutely love bringing my students to a part of Florida that is away from the city and still protects the old country version of Florida. The team members are always welcoming and very informed on the things they are presenting to our students which deepens their knowledge of the things we are learning in our Chemistry class! Our class is so very thankful to be able to experience the clean waters that are continually maintained and well-kept by the Crystal Springs Preserve!

Crystal Springs Preserve is absolutely the best field trip for my students. Here they are able to feel, see, smell everything around them and are guided perfectly through the process of nature. My students all say that this educational field trip is the one they will remember. Preserving this area for future students is of the utmost importance so our kids can be out in nature learning from the most qualified dedicated people and enjoy it so much.
