Previous Experiences
Last year's trip was to Maryville, Tenessee where we became one
with nature through our work with a group known as Once Upon a Time
in Appalachia. As a group, we jumped into discussion of the Eastern
Band of the Cherokee Nation and environmental issues in Appalachia.
Throughout the week, we visited the Sequoyah Museum, volunteered in
the Snowbird Cherokee Community, hiked in the Great Smokey
Mountains National Park, and even explored the tunnels of a
cave!
Needless the say, we were all stunned by the beauty of the
scenery and the euphoria created by the sheer power of this
land. Truly, it was an awesome experience!
