OPENING CAMPFIRE 15 MIN Welcome campers and greet them by name. Remind them about the focus strength and prepare the group for the day’s lesson. Campers, in Hope for Winter, we read about how animal experts cared for two rescued dolphins and helped them survive. The experts named one of the dolphins Hope. Why do you think it was important for the people who helped the dolphins to have hope? Open the discussion to the whole group. Turn and tell a partner about one thing you feel hopeful about. Give partners time to discuss. Today, let’s think about how having hope can motivate us to do our best and reach for the stars. Wrap up with a song or the LitCamp Cheer.
