Whether you come to walk in support of your favorite local nonprofit organization or for ensuing fun, the 7th annual Summit for the Planet Walk-a-thon and Earth Day Celebration offers something for all ages. The celebration will feature solar vehicle races, ‘eco-carnival’ games, live animals, community networking, ‘green’ businesses, live music, and delicious, organic foods – including ice cream from Santa Cruz’s Penny Ice Creamery!

From the unconditional love of ashram children, to personal stories of struggle and empowerment, to inspiring leaders working to educate youth and preserve cultures and traditions, the Mount Madonna School seniors who recently visited northern India experienced many enriching moments during their two-week learning journey.
