Hey, Hey, Hey.....Goodbye!

In the early morning hours of June 19th the group of friends met once again, only this time to depart together! At 6:30 sharp our family of 51 teenagers, 4 chaperons, and a bus driver rolled out of the Brookstown Inn in Winston Salem, NC. It's hard to imagine that are only just beginning the trip of a lifetime!

After much anticipation we finally meet!

We entered Bryant Hall surrounded by strangers, we left surrounded by friends.
One of the most exciting parts of the Western Tour is meeting the group that you will call your family during the 33 day adventure!
On June 18th the Staff members, chaperons, tour members and their families gathered in Bryant Hall at Salem College to begin the experience of a lifetime.

With many smiling, eager faces along with a wonderful meal the evening was a great success and the energy of the group radiated in the air! Although we are only just beginning the fun has already started.
