Last 24 hours {Basically, you are looking to have the staff empathize with the campers and what they might be doing right before they show up to camp, and right before they leave camp. This talk is more of a facilitated conversation than a speech or soliloquy. Ask questions, and have the staff provide the answers.} The kids are going to get here in less than 24 hours. What are those last hours going to look like? Perspectives to take while guiding this talk Returning camper for years New camper Teenage camper Young camper Scholarship camper What are they doing? Eating last meal Talking about with family Talking on the phone Packing Looking over camp stuff What are they thinking about? Friends Counselors Food Activities Other kids in the cabin What are they going to be thinking about the last 24 hours before going home after being at camp? Friends made Fun had Enjoying the last of the activities Soak it up as much as possible and take lots of pictures Reflect on how they have changed (if guided) Reflect on their counselors and what they’ve meant to them TV and video games and the internet to play with again Seeing home family and friends again Eating certain foods, and playing certain games © 2004 Randall Grayson, Ph.D. 48
Hero Song Mariah Carey sings a song about Heroes. I often get groans here, but nevertheless . . . Take transparencies and write these lines (one line per slide) along the bottom. Number each slide as well. Hand them out so that each person (or small group) sees only one. Give them colored sharpies and have them create a picture that symbolizes the line. Don’t tell them what you are going to do. When it has been done, pick a good time, and play the song while flipping through the slides. Practice flipping through the slides first, because it is more confusing than you might expect! Finish with a talk about how the staff are heroes in the lives of kids. You can use “The Modern Hero” spiel that follows for ideas. If the setting and time are right, it gets tears almost every time. Beyond the hero example, this technique can be utilized with many songs. 1. There’s a hero, if you look inside your heart 2. You don’t have to be afraid of what you are 3. There’s an answer if you reach into your soul 4. And the sorrow that you know will melt away 5. And then a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on 6. And you cast your fears aside, and you know you can survive 7. So when you feel like hope is gone 8. Look inside you and be strong, and you’ll finally see the truth, {grouped with next line} 9. that a hero lies in you 10. It’s a long road, and you face the world alone 11. No one reaches out a hand for you to hold 12. You can find love, if you search within yourself 13. And the emptiness you felt will disappear 14. And then a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on 15. And you cast your fears aside, and you know you can survive 16. So when you feel like hope is gone 17. Look inside you and be strong, and you’ll finally see the truth, {grouped with next line} 18. that a hero lies in you 19. Love knows, dreams are hard to follow, but don’t let anyone tear them away 20. Hold on, there will be tomorrow 21. In time, you’ll find a way 22. And then a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on 23. And you cast your fears aside, and you know you can survive 24. So when you feel like hope is gone 25. Look inside you and be strong, and you’ll finally see the truth, {grouped with next line} 26. that a hero lies in you 27. That a hero lies in you © 2004 Randall Grayson, Ph.D. 49
