The groups come from schools in the states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois and generally stay at the campus for 4 to 6 days.

She was a seasonal naturalist for one year from August 2012 to July 2013. She explained Trees for Tomorrow as a nature center and an education getaway. "That was an awesome experience," Hartley said. While obtaining her science education degree at the University at Buffalo between 2013 and 2015, Hartley returned to Trees for Tomorrow during the summer months as an intern.[5]
