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! These past few days have been beyond what I could have imagined, and it has been really amazing to see how all the planning has come together. Saturday morning, we were off

Final Reflections

Ryan Keller:  When I signed up to go on this trip, I expected a routine service experience. That we would go here or there and build this or that for a week. It turns out that I couldn’t have been more wrong. This trip was more than seven day’s work.

Friday March 6, 2020 Bridget Sullivan: Hello to the folks back at home! I’m Bridget Sullivan, a sophomore Psychology and Humanities major from Syracuse, New York. Our group woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready to tackle our last day duties at good ol’ Rocky Creek! We tied up some loose ends, like cleaning up signs and painting GIGANTIC electrical cable spools (coming soon to the sensory trail stations). Me, Josh, and Jordan put on our creative caps and got to work. After a final swipe of paint, our masterpiece was complete—a Villanova basketball themed spool! Luckily, we finished just in time in for lunch… Subway… again. The rest of the day was spent down by the lake house soaking in our final moments at the ranch. We squared up with some rambunctious goats and cuddled with the cutest miniature donkeys. Toward the end of our time, some of us kayaked on “the lake” or played tag under the sun with golden retrievers, Lucy and Denver. I on the other hand enjoyed a delightful
