Immersion Experience: Denver

DAY 5: COMING TOGETHER

Clay Dickey
Today was filled with connection, we learned how to connect with new people, prepare food, and become open about what we learned this week.
Today started with heading to high point and going into our assigned rooms for the day. We had a great day helping feed, sit with, and be present with the clients at HighPointe. Many people in our group have been in one classroom for the majority of the trip, and today the majority of the group got to help out in a new classroom, which not only helped to serve the clients with their needs, but teach us how to connect with even more ranges of disabilities across the facility. 

After our day at HighPointe, we came back to the house and started on dinner. We spent around an hour and a half preparing dinner for the family dinner at the end of the night. We learned house to make Tortellini Soup, prepare pasta, and fry chicken. We presented some of our favorite stories from the week to everyone and talk about some of the great things we experienced throughout the week. 

The plan for tomorrow is to tour the Olympic training facility down in Colorado Springs and spend the day saying some of our final goodbyes to some of the inspiring people we have met this week
