Science and Human Interaction

I was really excited to go on this trip and its crazy that its already over! I'm one of those crazy people who love physically demanding schedules that completely wipe you out, so that's part of why I loved this trip so much. The atmosphere, food, science, scenery, activities, and people were all fantastic. I was in a really great group (go Elk!) and we had some pretty amazing leaders. Chessie and Ray Ray were always energetic and it really made everything fun and comfortable. It was nice to get away from school, and for the most part, technology for a week. It seems that in today's world all we do is stare at screens instead of talking to each other and going outside. Which is why it was so nice to just spend a week with people outside. Sometimes I kinda forget the impact of genuine human interaction, it was very refreshing and I made some great friends. Overall I loved every second of it and I'm sad to be back.
