serve for 1000+ hours at the Upper Chinquapin Greenway, with many of those students choosing to participate more than once!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A majority of our participating instructors have shared that students reported being pleasantly surprised by the experience despite initially being hesitant to dive into what meant, for some, an entirely new world of outdoor activities (including the bugs, dirt, and sweat that goes with them).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:47% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img
