Family
First night at camp, a young girl was not feeling too well. Camp nurses came in to check on her, and she was running a little bit of a fever. (Thankfully tested negative for one specific virus.) The little girl was truly wanting to go home, but at the same time didn’t want to leave camp. Then, her Royal Family showed up.
When you don’t feel well, it could take a while for you to feel better. The princesses, campers and counselors, in her room worked together to come up with a way to try and help her feel better. Hoping to surprise her, they secretly worked together to write get well cards and draw pictures for their friend. They placed them right inside of her suitcase, in hopes that when she get home, she would open it up and see the sweet notes they wrote to her.
How precious is the heart of a child that wants to give and help without even knowing the outcome of this story. This is a great reminder that these children are constantly watching and being led by our example. What we do matters, and encouraging their beauty to uplift and care for others is incredibly powerful.
