OPENING CAMPFIRE 15 MIN Welcome campers and greet them by name. Remind them about the focus, Celebration, and prepare the group for the day’s lesson. Campers, during LitCamp we’ve talked about books, asked important questions, and shared our thoughts and ideas about the 7 Strengths. Today, we’re going to celebrate our achievements as readers and members of the LitCamp community. What is something that we have accomplished as a community that you think we should celebrate? Invite volunteers to share their ideas with the group. Let’s remember to celebrate one another by thinking about what makes each of us
special and listening to each other as we talk. Wrap up with a song or the LitCamp cheer.
