Spending a weekend together outdoors really opened up the conversation between the group. It really allowed us to be open, vulnerable, and honest with one and another. I really hope to further this more meaningful conversation with others in any aspect of life and in different relationships.
Because I have a few classes focused on environmental policy, I was able to see firsthand how these policies can affect nature and especially individuals who live in communities dependent on those resources and who are incredibly affected by pollution, mining, drilling, plastic waste etc.
Spending a weekend outside, in an environment I am not always in, definitely was a new experience for me and it allowed me to learn more about myself as well as build a desire to grow and try more new things.
A trip in the outdoors gives you a lot of time to think and really connect with the people you're around. You really become more comfortable with your surroundings when you spend time outside with others. I definitely plan on doing another trip.
