See what people are saying:
“I loved the teamwork aspect. As an introvert, I can find it difficult to meet new people and really connect with them. Having an activity right off the bat to meet people helped me relax into both the session and with all these mostly new people.”
“[My favorite part was] how Cordele walked us through everything step by step, and integrated everything beautifully and smoothly.”
“I enjoyed the activities a lot. They were fun and were easy to relate to real life experiences.”
