It’s not always easy to set a goal and then battle on through hardships and setbacks to meet it, whether it’s trying to: Finally swim the length of the pool.Making it across the highest wire in the ropes course.Mustering the courage to try a speaking role in the camp skit.

Maybe they get tongue-tied on stage at first and need a little prompting to keep going…

Not only do kids benefit from the help of staff and other campers, but they can also learn how rewarding it can be to be the person cheering on a friend or camp mate who’s trying hard to meet their own goals.

Whether it’s going all out in a color wars event or helping a struggling fellow softball teammate perfect her swing, camp is chock full of opportunities to learn there is no “I” in “team”.
