Welcome Break Trip 2020

Hi Everyone!  My name is Katie DeNicola, I am a senior Psychology Major and Business and Italian double minor from Connecticut. I am one of the Break Trip Leaders this year and I am super excited to introduce you to our 2020 Discovery Trail Break Trip Blog. This is my second time attending and I could not be more excited to be back!  The central theme of this trip centers around understanding the way we see ability, a topic very near and dear to my heart among a variety of other topics. An incredible partnership with the Office of Disability Services and LEVEL alongside the help of some very special people here at Triple Play Farms and Rocky Creek Ranch has established this all accessible trip which, for the first time is mostly made up of students not in the group!

I am interested to see were we go from here because as a group it on us to use what we have learned to help our community grow. I would like to thank everyone for all the different types of support that they gave us. "Together we can face any challenges as deep as the ocean and as high as the sky."-Sonia Ghandi. I hold this belief that I am nothing without other people they help me to learn and grow stronger. August Geiermann: On this week’s LEVEL break trip, our experience was more than about the service we were doing or the tasks we completed. In my opinion, our true purpose in embarking on this experience was to grow and change for the better, both as a group and as individuals. Going in, I anticipated I wouldn’t be able to do much, and was preparing to adopt a “...
