"I was blown away. Absolutely a life changing experience that I will forever carry with me. The bond our team made between such different people was an awesome experience and I will without a doubt keep in contact with some of the friends I made this trip. We all learned so much about backpacking, respect and appreciation for the environment, and about ourselves. Every person on this trip shared some truly moving life lessons and experiences that they will take from this, and my experience was no different. This program is an incredible resource to those of all backgrounds and I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to take part."
