A First-Timer’s Experience of the Bear Valley Ski Trip

Wyatt and Daniel

I had such a great time at Bear Valley. I got to see my old friends and even got to make new ones. My counselors were great. I think the best one was probably Knobby because he made the boring times in the car seem fun and was just really funny.

I think the best time I had was when I successfully went down a steep hill and made it down my first try ever. It was also really cool when the girls came in at night and played games with us. Ding Dong had this ball that shocks you when you shake it and we got the girls pretty good.

What I thought was also pretty amazing was the dedication to the campers. The firefighters did awesome by feeding us at night and morning. I’d just like to say thank you to everybody for making this possible.

            Thank you,

YAS is where the heart is…..

My experience at the Young Adult Summit (YAS) has been an interesting one! Many youth who attend find it very favorable to their growth.

Personally, the experience has been more then a journey; it has been a fulfillment of my needs and a reminder that I need to stay on track and be happy with my life.  When I say this, I mean that the Summit has given me opportunities to seek out knowledge and experiences.  Learning how to budget, eat healthy, be positive, and to know the importance of pursuing an education are all things I have learned and taken away from YAS.

Lastly, I wanted to add that the event provided me with a comforting family feeling every time I am with my group of peers and the counselors that attend. The weekend makes everything seem like you’re at home. Home is where the heart is, and to me, heart is where the people of the Young Adult Summit are!
