Made it!

We have arrived safely in Mooresville, North Carolina. We got here at about 5pm, had dinner, and prepared for the week ahead. Everyone is exhausted and excited. We will be posting a full blog post with pictures in the morning after a good night's sleep!

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...

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...

Kate Murray:  Hi everyone! My name is Kate Murray and I am a Senior Sociology major with a Counseling minor from Northern Virginia. I actually have never been involved with LEVEL before, so I was a bit apprehensive to join LEVEL on their trip to Rocky Creek and Triple Play Farm. However, this week has continued to push me outside of my comfort zone, ultimately helping me learn and grow from my many encounters with others. Today we put the finishing touches on our service projects, which  included Mod-Podging our quilt designs and painting horse jumps. At the end of the day, Tracy and Erika led a wonderful closing reflection at Rocky Creek, allowing us to discuss the impact that groups like LEVEL can have on a community. Trisha, one of the RC staff members, broke down at one point and emotionally shared with us how heartbroken she felt when she could not join us at Rocky Creek one day this week. This raw emotion really affected me, because I realized that our group had done...
