Community Spirit
Camper of the Week for Community Spirit goes to a camper who builds up our community by bringing people together inside the age group and out. She embodies the idea of never leaving a camper behind. Her friendliness, thoughtfulness, and generosity contribute to our camp community and without her there would be a noticeable difference in the spirit of the age group.

Compassion
Campers receiving this award are those who we all enjoy being around for their bright smiles, welcoming spirits, and inclusive attitudes. She can put herself in someone else’s shoes and shows a great understanding of her fellow campers. She is compassionate with all of her fellow campers and staff, and does her best to learn the perspective of others during conflict. 

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 us the ideals of what it is to make our community better by being a part of it.

Courage
This award is given to a camper who has the courage to do what is right, even when what is right does not match with what is popular. Her bravery is represented in social situations and at activity areas, where she has worked hard to try something new or outside of her comfort zone. She is fearless when it comes to reaching her goals and making camp a better place for all.

Authenticity
This award is given to a camper who is able to be her true, whole self in all contexts around camp. 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.
