Every day at Camp Rising Sun, campers are recognized by their counselors for good deeds and for displays of our main character traits: Caring, Respect, Responsibility, Honesty, and Faith in God. It's always really special for a camper to be rewarded, whether it's through beads (for Camp One and Camp Two) or bandanas (for Camp Three, our rising middle schoolers). But what's really cool is when campers are recognized by other campers, and that's just what happened today!
When I arrived at camp, I was pleasantly surprised by a note in my mailbox complimenting one of our Camp Three boys. The note made me so happy that I just HAD to find this camper! He was down at Gaga Ball, his favorite activity, playing with some friends. Here are some pictures from their game.
With this being his second summer at Camp Rising Sun, he has made quite an impression on his friends. A few of the other boys in his huddle said that he was always friendly and honest. One of his best friends said, "I'd give him every bandana out there. He has heart. He's just kind." It was so inspiring to see these 6th graders talk so highly of their friend!
