Welcome to our Blog!
Check this page during the month of March to join us on our trip of a lifetime!
We are a group of friends with and without disabilities who have gotten the opportunity to explore the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park and Las Vegas together! We met at an amazing summer camp on Martha's Vineyard and have been like a second family ever since.
Paul and Maggie had had plans this past December to go to another camp in Guatemala. However, when those plans did not work out, they decided to use their plane tickets to head west.... and of course invite some of the camp family.
Meet the group!

| Paul and Maggie
Paul has been going to camp for approximately 500 years. (Okay, fine. more like 100). He enjoys writing and has written many articles for the newspaper on Martha's Vineyard.
Maggie is currently taking a break from college to become an EMT and go on cool trips like this one.

Michelle expressed interest in joining in on the adventure as her good buddy, Sam had been asking to go to Vegas with him for a very long time! Sam was very excited to go, to say the least.

| Sam and Michelle |
Sam enjoys spending time with his dog, Oreo, and is looking forward to his graduation from school this spring... and possibly marrying Michelle in Vegas during our trip. (Shhhh, don't tell his mom!).
Michelle works at Trader Joe's in western Mass and might possibly marry Sam in Vegas during our trip. (Shhh, don't tell her mom!).
Sam's sister Emily quickly followed suit as well as another Sam! They of course were welcomed with open arms.
Sam and Emily
Sam is a hard working guy who loves horse back riding and hugs! Emily is a junior at Wheaton College and is going to be the wittiness at her brother's wedding to Michelle.
Nancy told everyone that she had never been to Vegas before and that she wanted to go with bells on! How could we say no?
Nancy
Nancy is as sweet as they come and is, like Paul a camp lifer.
Last but not least, Jake will be joining the clan! He moved out west this year from Massachusetts and couldn't say no to a camp trip so close to his new home.
Jake
Jake can drive a bus and fix just about anything! These are the only reasons he was invited to come with us.
Once the group was complete, we realized something very, very important..... we needed some money to make our dreams come true! From there, Michelle created a promotional video and Maggie and Paul created a fundraising website. Both were put out on BLAST on social media and the out pouring of love was unbelievable.
As of today we have raised $6,054 !!!!!
