MOO!
MOO! During staff training one of the things we talked about is how to get a group of campers to quiet down when someone needs to tell them something. I had worked at another camp where one person held up their hand like they had a question then everyone else held their hand up. The idea was that as soon as any person put their hand up they need to zip it. This winter I did what most camp directors do, which is go to at least a couple conferences to get ideas for how to tweak things at camp so that the camp gets better every year. One of the speakers made a hand gesture that looked like a coyote and gave a great story of why the coyote was much better than the hand raising thing. Back to staff training. I broke out the coyote and before I knew it several of the counselors moooooo’d back at me. A new Farm Camp tradition was born. Nobody planned it; camp magic was at work and it was time for this new tradition. The headline picture for the blog is the entire camp holding up their MOO sign. I haven’t tried this method out on my 2 year old Hannah yet……
Farm on,
John
