“I had just completed my Freshman year of high school and I decided that I wanted to do something with my summer. Teen tours looked intriguing, with their brochures containing pictures of smiling teenagers posing together. Exploring new places by means of bus and plane was an attractive idea, but it just seemed too easy. I continued searching the internet for teen trips and one day I stumbled upon the website for SHP. Their brochure was also illustrated by pictures of smiling teenagers posing together, but these seemingly cheerful teens were dirty, sweaty, and most probably smelly. I was intrigued. I decided to sign up for the trip. I spent the first three weeks of my summer worrying about my trip. “Would the other kids be nice?” “Would there be a lot of hills?” “Would I like the food?” Finally, Judgment Day arrived and I hooked my bike to the back rack, threw my duffle bag in the backseat, and buckled my nervous self into the passenger seat. So here I was, having minimal biking experience, a past record of severe homesickness and picky eating, and having camped out once prior to this trip, setting out for two weeks of biking and camping in Vermont with a group of teenagers, none of whom I knew. This group of teenagers from around the world soon became a small family. I became so wrapped up in my newfound friends and sense of accomplishment and independence that I didn’t write to my parents or call home until the last days, to clarify where they were picking me up. At the end of the trip, we gave hugs and promised to keep in touch. It was at that moment that I realized how much that trip had been worth. I cried to stay with the people who made me feel at home. We didn’t need a roof, we sheltered each other. You can’t do anything about the length of your summer, but you can do something about its width and depth.” Simone Burke, tripper
