 Hello Brewster Day Camp, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
As we enter 2017, I am thinking a lot about CONNECTIONS. Gina Bellman, a New Zealand-born British actress, so aptly states, "I love those connections that make this big old world feel like a little village." Given all that is going on in our world, many of us feel fractured or disconnected. Now is the time to embrace authentic CONNECTIONS just like the vital attachments found at camp!
BDC is well-known for helping campers feel included and CONNECTED immediately upon arrival at 3570 Main Street. We train our staff to assist children in making meaningful attachments (to an adult and to another child) within the first five minutes on campus. This goal of creating swift and honest CONNECTIONS happens when people create a thoughtful and deliberate environment where this type of interaction is sought after and expected.
To be sure - creating a "culture of connection" is challenging work! At BDC, we create CONNECTION in lots of ways: by truly listening to others; by feeling our own emotions; by honoring other people's perspectives; by being fully present; by valuing differences; by being authentic and sharing our true selves with others, and much more.
Now more than ever, our world desperately needs honest CONNECTIONS which sustain us as human beings. This month and beyond, I am challenging myself to embrace CONNECTION as creating and sharing meaningful CONNECTIONS is powerful, valuable work.
Here's to more CONNECTIONS through sharing...
CHGsP!

"Connection is the energy that is created between people
when they feel seen, heard, and valued;
When they can give and receive without judgement."
