Welcoming the New Campers

Cookies focusLast night, Caroline Crawford suggested a topic for a blog.  Caroline (Craw Ma’am), is our Mini Division Leader (girls just finishing K-3rd) and will become the Assistant Girls Director behind Leah Ma’am after the summer.  She is a force of nature and a ball of energy.

 

She told me that I should write a blog about how our current campers are “reaching out” (one of the 4 Rs of Camp Champions) to the campers that arrived yesterday.  We have some campers that are finishing the 3rd week of a three-week session (and a couple that are halfway through a four-week session) and we challenged them to find ways to embrace the new campers and help them feel as comfortable as possible as soon as possible.

Second Session is Sensational

Your children are safely in their beds and are safely asleep.  They are ready for a wonderful first full day at Camp Champions.  Counselors have read to the youngest campers.  The older campers met together to talk about the high points of their day and to get to know each other better.

With the day winding down, now seems like a good time to share some thoughts.
