Happy Core Values in Action Wednesday!
To explore Stewardship, we have a story to share from one of our Summer Staff members, Elodie, who works in Susky village! She has put Stewardship into action in a big way! Here is the email she sent me:
“The amount of free time read for young children and teens has gone down the recent years. Reading has become a chore instead of an awesome hobby to learn about new things. As a young adult, I find it part of my responsibility to past the torch to the younger generation. I want to help be a part of the solution that encourages free reading. Learning doesn’t just stop in school. I’ve learned many things during my summer at Frost Valley. Last summer I had a few campers who really loved to read in their spare time. I had one camper who really loved rocks but I couldn’t find a book about rocks in the Catskills mountains. As a result, over the last month I have been collecting books from friends and family members to add to the book collection at Frost Valley. In this collection I have an arrangement of books for both the introverted and extroverted campers. I also managed to find a good book on rocks! And the collection is still growing! My goal is to have 100 books by the end May. Who knows maybe we can have an Frost Valley book club! Best Wishes, Elodie”
