Measurable Outcome(s)

Sample survey responses asking what did you like best about the program: Learned a lot about a little known area of Minnesota history; Learned part of my dad's history - worked in the MN CCC camp; Excellent presentation with lecture, films & literature; So interesting to hear about how the individual camps worked & their focus on conservation.
