Listen To Those That Know! "We nailed ‘til we got blisters, we got really dirty, and we did things we didn’t think we were able to do. I wouldn’t have had it any other way!" "I had received a house from Habitat for Humanity when I was 10. Being able to go down and help others’ dreams become a reality meant so much to me. When seeing the family, I knew exactly what they were feeling because I have felt it before." "Not only do I feel great about giving my time to help someone in need, I realized that I am stronger than I previously thought. I am capable of doing things people said I couldn’t do, and I am strong enough physically and mentally to do anything I put my mind to."

A Collegiate Challenge trip may just be the best school break you ever have! Spend your days building with Habitat for Humanity and spend your evenings exploring somewhere else in the U.S.
