“Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world. For, indeed, that’s all who ever have.”
I have had the fortunate honor of being the Challenge Course Program Coordinator for the past three years. Over those three years I have had sixteen staff members work on my team and countless others come and lend a hand when needed. This year I have watched campers who traditionally did not do well with high elements push past their fears and boundaries and achieve something that three years ago they did not think was possible. I would love to say that I am the reason for this but I would be lying to you. The teams I have been blessed to oversee need to take the credit. Their caring demeanor and positive reinforcement over the years has helped children grow leaps and bounds. The great part about this is the challenge course is not the only place I witness this happening. I see at the waterfront, in the villages, and even at meals. The staff that work here are the true definition of altruism. If you haven’t had a chance to meet these people I encourage you to find the time because who knows the impact they might have on you.
