"We haven't been able to go on them for about two years. So kids have missed a lot of experiences that we like, you know, like Young America Town, all these great excursions, outdoor labs were cut short and so if we can kind of get this back, this is great for hands-on learning. These are the things that they're going to remember and learn the most," said Hultine.
