<strong>Summer</strong> <strong>Sojourn</strong> Paths<br />
We Get By With a Little Help From Our Friends: Community Service - Session 1<br />
The Community Service Path is designed for students to experience first-hand the joy of volunteering<br />
and how it can lead to future employment or philanthropic opportunities. During this Path, students<br />
will help several local non-profit groups, such as Ray of Light Farm (an animal rescue farm), Goodspeed<br />
Musicals, and the East Haddam Land Trust. While students provide much-needed assistance, they will<br />
learn about the world of non-profits, including how they are organized and funded. Participants can use<br />
their altruistic experience as part of the college application essay and résumé as well as to fulfill community<br />
services requirements. If this is not enough, students will most certainly have some fun as they<br />
serve others! This Path is open to students who are rising juniors, seniors, and postgraduates.<br />
Worst Case Scenario Survival - Offered Both Sessions<br />
Have you ever wondered how to survive being lost at sea or how to land an airplane in an emergency?<br />
How do you survive a shark attack? Or perhaps worse – how do you manage an awkward conversation<br />
or deal with a terrible roommate? In this Path, we will use the Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook<br />
series and our creativity to explore solutions to mind-boggling puzzles and situations to verify or refine<br />
our best-case solutions to worst-case scenarios. Students will gain insight into problem-solving and<br />
learn valuable survival skills, such as fire building and plant identification. Much of our time in this<br />
Path will be spent outside, so pack up your sunscreen and bring your imagination!
