In addition to their work with Presencia, our staff navigates violence in their homes and neighborhood, immigration issues, poverty, and all the normal challenges of growing up.<\/p><p>When we were building our team and preparing for the 2019-2020 school year, we began working with Local Adventurer to plan a trip that would give our staff a new set of experiences and help them bond. We wanted to step away from our daily concerns, travel together, and grow closer as a team.<\/p><p>The city of Chattanooga was the obvious first choice to make this happen. From major tourist attractions to rugged outdoor adventures, Chattanooga, Tennessee is a great city for new experiences.<\/p><p>Some travelers are drawn by the \u201cSee Rock City\u201d barns that sprawl as far north as Indiana and across the border of Texas. Others come for attractions like the Chattanooga Choo-Choo or the Tennessee aquarium. More adventurous travelers visit to explore the local trails, climb the walls and boulders, or run the rivers.<\/p><p>Esther and Jacob met up with the Presencia staff in Atlanta, and we all traveled to Chattanooga, where we learned about ourselves and each other while tackling four challenging new experiences together.<\/p><p>We asked some of our staff members to tell us about their favorite
