Trip recap by Jenna, Amira and Angie

"Ancient ruins are like cheese; they taste better with age." This is one of the many things we learned during this amazing trip to Greece. From the minute we arrived at the airport to the minute we came back, we have had nothing but incredible experiences, hilarious laughs, and memories we will never forget. We loved the mix of educational and experiential excursions. Having connections with locals in Greece allowed us to become immersed in the culture at a whole new level.

We will miss the beautiful beaches and most of all the people we shared our travels with. We find it incredible how well we got to know the Greek locals and how even back in Canada, we are still in touch with them. Although we really enjoyed every adventure we went on, we especially loved the River Neda. Also, we have all agreed that what we will miss most is Ms. Squeen's laugh when she realizes that she really is "the fun one". Overall, we are incredibly grateful for being given the chance to go to Greece and experience the country and build relationships with people across the world.

Thank you so much to Ms. McQueen, Mr. Doland, Mr. Abrioux, the Vincent family, and the Woodgate family for making this trip possible. You have all inspired us as leaders and learners, and taught us how to be responsible and respected, but still goofy and fun. We will miss you all.
