It was a full and fabulous day. I just returned from making all-natural lip balms with the girls. I only have time to jot down a few inspirational quotes I overheard today before meeting them at the campfire.
"You know what I love about this place? It's the only camp with great food," shared Micah, while eating broccoli and tofu stir-fry!
"Maybe the space to fill is our purpose in life," said Natalie, while engaging in a text study about the after the meal blessing for God creating numerous souls with flaws.
"We all rock, like JCDS," said Kevin, as he and the rest of the JCDSRI boys ventured out on a night hike, along with Manhattan Schechter sixth graders.
"I feel good when I'm doing something I love, like being with my friends or family, or spending time outside," said Jessica, before making lip balm.
Sandy talked about when she feels like herself and said about her friends, that "they let me be who I am. They make me feel really confident.
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Your children will be ready for an early bedtime, and if they are generally carnivorous, a meat meal would be welcome.
I am so inspired by these fifth graders!
Wow! Such reflections! I look forward to hearing more about this wonderful adventure! Sweet Dreams!
