How Did You Grow?

How did you grow this summer? For the kids here in camp, the answer can be twofold--physically and spiritually. There will definitely be kids here who come home taller or wider. But they will also come home filled with experiences and memories that will last a lifetime.

I am much more interested in the spiritual aspect of their growth as opposed to their physical growth. I am about to step into running my final art and meditation prayer service this morning and I have been contemplating what question to ask them to paint the answer to. I want to sum up the summer and leave them with food for thought, a mantra to take with them back home, to represent something they learned that helped them grow.

I decided to ask them the same question I asked at the bunk party I threw for my daughter: "What did you learn this summer?" After a brief discussion, I will give them time to paint how they will apply that to real life at home.

I can't wait to hear the discussion!

How did you grow this summer? What did you learn about yourself?
