It’s so fulfilling to see young leaders blossom every summer at camp. The other day, I was reflecting on how much I’ve learned over my years here, and I truly believe that sharing these experiences can help our staff grow even more. What are some lessons you wish someone had passed on to you when you started?
I totally agree! Sharing experiences can really shape our next generation. One thing I wish I’d known earlier is the importance of adapting activities to different age groups.
It’s so true that mentoring can reshape the next generation! One lesson I wish I’d learned sooner is how much enthusiasm can boost morale — like a good campfire song that gets everyone clapping. @jenny_makes has some great tips on engaging activities for younger campers; I’d love to hear more thoughts from everyone.
But reflecting on what’s helped me, I’d say emphasizing teamwork in every activity is crucial. It not only brings everyone together but also teaches valuable skills. Have you found any specific team-building exercises that really resonate with the kids?
