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 the previous lesson, we read Two Bobbies , the true story of two animals who formed a friendship as they tried to survive after a hurricane left them without a home. Have you ever helped someone through a hard time? Has someone ever helped you? Have campers share with partners, then continue. What are some ways that friends can help you? Invite volunteers to share their ideas with the group. Today, we’re going to dive deep into Two Bobbies . Let’s support our LitCamp friends by sharing our ideas with others and listening attentively when others share their ideas with the group. Wrap up with a song or the LitCamp cheer.
