I was sitting in a small hole in the wall BBQ joint last night with my brother and the discussion turned to camp memories. We spoke of evening snack and the feeling of cabin comradery that came with the quiet discussion at the end of the day. My own camp memories of that time of day brought me to the power of kind words spoken by a staff member to correct the misguided views of fellow campers.
As we plan each summer, each activity, each training – we need to ask ourselves, time and time again, “Will this help to create amazing camp memories?”
