Activity

Sitting lakeside for a quiet nighttime campfire, Lucas and Louise speak to the group about gratitude and honor; and after the team learns the camp song from Head Counselor Michael, they dance around the raging campfire for a night of bonding.  Finally, in a traditional ceremony, each camper is given a piece of bark with one important word written on it – like bravery, friendship, or courage - and the campers take a solemn moment to reflect on the concepts.  Once the stories are told, the campers solemnly toss their bark into the burning flame so their dreams and hopes can become part of the memories of camp that will last forever.
