This summer I was given one of the greatest opportunities of my life - right up there with the opportunity to go to Penn State and play hockey :). In Minneapolis, my family is very involved with an organization called Young Life. Young Life is a really awesome group that helps teenagers see their true worth and do life. One branch of Young Life is Capernum, which is specifically designed to give "young people with intellectual and developmental disabilities the chance to experience fun and adventure, to develop fulfilling friendships and to challenge their limits while building self-esteem." A friend told me they were looking for "buddies" to walk alongside campers, so I jumped in and got to hangout with my new friend, Lauren for a week at a Young Life Camp in Minnesota called Castaway Club.
