What can we learn about community from camp? I’ve always struggled with camp. In no way am I saying that camp is a bad thing, never, but I think we share the message of camp as it is this outer reality. We tell individuals they can leave everything they know and experience all these wonderful things.
And in the context of this study, we take people from ‘their normal lives’ and create this community, but what happens when the leave? I see time after time students continue to grasp on to that one week. They have created an ideal situation and it is camp. How do we allow people to see that these experiences of community at camp can be the normal in their life?
