I know I skipped from pre-Day 1 with campers all the way to Day 4, but go with it. A very short, very quick sum-up of my junior forum Outdoor Adventure Day:
worked incredibly hard to get Brannan, one of our more emotional campers, all the way up the ladder on a high event, away from the pole to which he was clinging for dear life, off the platform on which he literally remained frozen for a good 2-3 minutes, onto the wires that he had planned to avoid at all costs, and safely to the ground. I need to take ownership for my dedication, fast thinking, and overall effectiveness with Brannan. I don't know how I did it, but I got him down, just as one of the personnel running the camp had begun to harness up to climb to Brannan and physically take him down.
In response to this, I didn't get an acknowledgment from my lead Kelly, but from Chicka, one of the most integral pieces to the SuperCamp puzzle. It was a short and indirect acknowledgment, but it isn't something that I'll forget. I felt incredibly proud and valued.
