Everything I Need to Know, I Learned at Summer Camp
Summer camp is a staple in the lives of children across the country. The songs, stories and fun become memories that last forever. Camp is also a great educational environment, teaching life skills as well as more concrete lessons on a variety of topics. This past summer in my role as a Division Head for the rising fourth graders at my Jewish summer camp, I facilitated the learning environment and community for my campers. Through morning prayers, theme days, night activities, and down time, I helped my staff plan and execute hundreds of programs for our campers. While we were helping our campers though, my staff and I were also learning and growing. In my presentation, I will share the stories and successes as well as what our 68 campers taught us, because you can always learn from camp, no matter how old you are.
