During the TREES program, participants were granted various opportunities to socialize with their peers and form acquaintanceships. Featured above is an indoors activity that many program members found engaging and fun. Throughout the weeks, participants discussed topics such as cultural wealth and environmental awareness.

During the week, we did multiple activities, covered interesting topics and practiced daily self-relfection to review the things we learned about. Above is a picture that shows an example of local Street Art that Hilltop Artists and Youth have created. We enjoyed several field tips to learn the stories of the Nisqually Indian Tribe, Hilltop Residents, and local educators. Each activity that we did had a meaning and helped us  understand  our own Cultural Wealth and become more aware of our environments.

For the field trips, us students got to participate in 2 field trips in the 9 days. In the picture above, it shows us students learning new things, from a field trip place. We got to see new things, the meanings of them, new places and be introduced to new things each time. We got educated new things throughout the field trips.
