Thank you for putting in the time you do with your blogs. I know it is not an easy thing to do, but I have always found that putting my thoughts in writing helps me to clarify whatever it is I am grappling with. You all have many things to grapple with as you naviagate through the remaining weeks of camp. You have chosen some very noble goals and I am hopeful that you will make progress on them. Again I see common themes: camp is more challenging now that the campers are showing you that they have many unmet needs, despite how hard you work, those unmet needs keep showing up, you are not losing sight of the challenges these kids face, but this work is hard! I think those are just a few for week 2. Isn't it nice that you have each other to count on as you all share these challenges?
You may not always be aware of how you are impacting the kids especially when you are in the midst of all their needs and demands. I know you are making a positive impact. I see it when I see how engaged and interested they are in their activities. I see it when I read their evaluations and many talk both about being happy at camp and being unhappy about being counted. They want to please you. I also see it when I see they are willing to open themselves up to you and share their lives. Never underestimate the power you have in their lives!
