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 & liturature; So interesting to hear about how the individual camps worked and their focus on conservation.
