Conversation Prompts Engaging in conversations with campers, or being attentive as they talk with one another, provides insights into how they’re developing as readers, writers, thinkers, and people. Use these prompts when you confer with campers during Bunk Time or anytime. Post one on the board as a topic for discussion at the start of the day. Encourage campers to use them to initiate conversations with friends.
