Brittany Sumner
Brittany's Programs
Hi, I'm Brittany, but most people call me Peaches! I'm a girl with messy hair, endless laugh lines, and a heart too big not to roam. I spend my days as a naturalist teaching people about the ever-changing, amazing, natural world we live in. South Carolina is where my roots lie and where I developed my adventurous spirit, with a passion for education and travel. Here, you can join me on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, across the jungles of Monteverde, Costa Rica, with high school students from all over the U.S. This is where I will share our lessons learned, memories made, and moments filled with laughter.
