The first thing we did after meeting as a group was to play some ice breakers…
I got my photo taken during one of these!
The highlight of the NCCAT institute was the rafting trip. It was very relaxing and the water was pleasantly cool. The raft I was on had everyone jump off of jumping rock and also we rescued a 7th grader who was separated from her mother (who taught english at University of Alabama).
Overall the experience seemed short because of the day-long meetings. I felt Confident I could get through 3 lbs of carrots and a pound of salad greens during these, but I only made it through the carrots.
