Camp Dog in the Camp Sunshine

Chances are, you might just be having a day that's a little confusing! Or a little stressful! Or a little-out-of-the-ordinary-and-not-in-your-preferred-out-of-the-ordinary-kind-of-way!

If that's the case (or even if it's not), we thought we'd offer a little 4-H Camp style Vespers meditation time.

So.


Step One: Take a deep breath.



Step two: Relax.



Step three: Picture yourself beside Lake Shawanni and scroll through the following pictures...slowly.

Slowly.

I said slowly.

Relax! Deep breath.

Slower than that.

Slower still.

That's about right.

Now pretend you're...

The Camp Dog.

Soak up...

The sunshine.

(Keep scrolling slowly!

I noticed you speeding up.)

Back to being the Camp Dog.

Stretch!

Lie down.

Roll...

Around.

Smell the grass!

Feel the grass!

Bite the grass!

(Okay. You don't have to bite the grass...

If you don't want to.)

Look around! At the woods!

Now look the other way! At the lake!

Stretch again.

Think a peaceful thought.

Think a peaceful-er thought.

Think nothing.

Look at the lake again.

Walk to your favorite spot on Camp.

Stand there. Stay there. 

Relax again. And for a while.

Repeat. As often as needed. By going back up to the top. And starting all over again.

And that's...

The Camp Dog's Vespers.

Thanks to Woodrow for walking around, thanks to the sun for shining, and thank YOU for joining us. We hope you just got a little Summer Camp joy where ever you're at right now.

More soon.
