With the exception of the morning at Holiday Hill Camp, we have been spending our time listening to lectures and each other at group meetings in the facilities of Uconn. This day, we had the chance to go outdoors and have some fun and also enjoy ourselves by doing some community service. With a lunch box for each of us we got on the buses that took us to Hartford´s Camp Courant.Their mission is to provide a summer sanctuary for Hartford 5-12 years-old, which enables them to develop positive relationships, learn and have fun. Although the children were not there when we arrived, we were received by the staff who immediately handed us out brushes, paint and other painting materials. We split in smaller groups, and started painting and restoring some of the facilities. We enjoyed the sunny day and service activity along with very interesting conversations that took place as we were painting.
After the Camp we headed to Mansfield Hollow Dam to have an early dinner under the trees. Later on, some of us played football, some others volleyball, and others just sit on the grass to keep chatting, getting to each other´s stories and experiences. Check out some pictures!
