Welcome to the new Immersion/EBP Blog

This is a blog about the Immersion/Environmental Backpacking Program at the University YMCA on the University of Minnesota campus. The Immersion/EBP program offers alternative break trips over winter, spring, and summer breaks. Each trip offers students the chance to travel, to explore a social justice or environmental issue, to serve the community that they visit, and to bring their experiences back to youth in Minneapolis/St. Paul. All trips are student led, and we are currently recruiting trip leaders for 2008 trips. E-mail uyimmersion@gmail.com for more information and an application.

The Immersion/EBP staff for 2007-2008 includes three coordinators. They are:

Dustin Dresser, Ciera Loehrer, and Eric Garvey
