Citizenship
In this final week we recognize the rare camper who embodies all of the qualities we have highlighted throughout the summer. These are great all-around campers who show the ideals of what it is to make our community better by being a part of it.

Integrity
Camper of the Week for Integrity is awarded to a camper who knows and follows her moral compass. She chooses to do what she knows is the right thing without expecting a reward, even when it may not be the best thing for herself. She admits her mistakes and doesn’t let someone else take the blame. She knows when to keep a friend’s secret and when it is time to ask for help by speaking with an adult. She doesn’t gossip and keeps her promises. She is always true to herself.

Authenticity
This award is given to a camper who is able to be her true, whole self in all contexts around camp. She is honest and sincere. No matter the situation, she keeps her personal values in mind and behaves in ways consistent with those values. She respects other campers’ authenticity as well, and doesn’t try to change others into people they are not. This camper appreciates diverse perspectives, but stands up for what she believes is right.

Dedication
We recognize a camper who gives 100% of her effort to whatever challenge she faces. She is not only enthusiastic about her own passions, but is also supportive of her peers’ interests and goals. Her “can do” attitude and commitment is contagious among her friends and is valued by her counselors. She is a hard worker and respects others when they demonstrate dedication by trying new things and following through on promises made.

Gratitude
A grateful heart is a happy heart. Campers who show gratitude spend each day expressing moments that made them happy. Their consistent expression of gratitude encourages being more thankful and more thoughtful about others. They express thanks and appreciation for all that they have both at camp and back at home.
