Hey campers, we know you are bummed about losing camp this summer…and, when we are sad, it is important to connect with other people. So now is a great time to pick up the phone, head out to the porch, call a friend and talk about how you’re doing right now. You can even go for a walk while you are on the phone and it will be like you are playing a trail game. We all know that a good trail game is a great way to help you focus on something more fun than the weight of your backpack, or the hurt of losing camp…plus it is a great way to be a supportive friend and listener. You will learn new things, too!

So now let’s play 20 Questions!

  • Do you have any plans for the summer yet?
  • When are you done with school?
