Resilient? Hell no

Resilient is a tough word to describe my campers. I do not believe they are resilient in the traditional sense because I do not believe that their minds truly comprehend the word itself. Not to mention that they cannot wrap their minds around the hand they have been dealt with in life. They are children who ride a roller-coaster of emotions each day and cope through impulsive behavior. These kids cannot handle any adverse situations in a healthy manner. That trait is one that would take much longer than the time we have left in camp. From the field trip this weekend, it is obvious that these children need a lot more attention that they will probably not be able to get as they get older in school. O well, We will keep on trucking.
