Daily Reflections @Home Week 3
During our Build Strong @Home series, we will post three different daily reflections for you. These can be done at any time during the day, but we recommend doing them at a time when campers and adults alike can really think and talk with each other.
DEVO, DAYVO, WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT THOUGH?!
What is a devo? Devo (devotion) is a Frost Valley tradition that spans every program and age group. It is a great way for campers to wind down and connect with each other after long days of active programming. Before bed, campers come together as a cabin/yurt/tent group and participate in a reflective activity. Often sat in a circle around a candle, counselors present an age-appropriate prompt. Devo is a safe space so sharing is always optional and we ask campers to respect that information shared in devo, stays in devo.
Name: Five, Five, Five
Age Recommendation: Lighthearted and optimistic
How to:
Each person asks themselves where they would like to see themselves in 5 weeks, 5 months, and 5 years.
Name: Reach Out and Touch
Age Recommendation: All ages, warm and fuzzy
How to: Everyone sits/ stands with their eyes closed. The speaker calls participants up by their number. The speaker says, “Put your hand on the shoulder of someone who…(has done something positive/ made you feel something positive).” The people standing touch someone’s shoulder who has portrayed the statement.
Name: Web of Appreciation
Age Recommendation: Older ages, warm and fuzzy, need string/ rope
How to: While sitting or standing in a circle, one person compliments another person in the circle and hands them a part of the string. Then, that person does the same to another person, and so on until everyone has said a compliment and has been complimented. In the end, the string can be given out as bracelets for the group to remember their experiences together.
