Validation

This week's Camp Hope Mantra is Validation.

Throughout the week, we remind campers that they are seen, welcomed, and loved. We also encourage them to offer these same affirmations in their relationships, such as:

• Staff to camper

• Camper to staff

• Camper to camper

• Camper self-validation

Campers typically work their way up to giving validations to themselves, which are shared during closing meetings at the end of each day. Meet Mr. Bill and learn the importance of validation from one of Camp Hope's counselors.
