parent and staff chaperones spent two days and a night at Camp Tecumseh YMCA.\u00a0 What an amazing time we had!\u00a0 In my brief orientation to the\u00a0students before the trip, I said that two things would be necessary to make the trip a success for each one of them:\u00a0 1) Whole-hearted participation, and 2)\u00a0Supporting your teammates no matter what.\u00a0 Students applied those qualities extremely well, and this trip was one of our best ever.<\/p>\n<p><span>One of my memories is just of laughing so much together with the students and leaders.\u00a0 It was truly a refreshing and meaningful time.\u00a0 Also, I was so impressed with their perseverance and mutual encouragement.\u00a0 That doesn&#8217;t mean every attempt at a task &#8220;succeeded,&#8221; but<\/span><em> lessons were learned and relationships were strengthened<\/em><span>.\u00a0 I believe God can<!--more--> use these to further accomplish His mission in and through the 6th graders at Faith Christian School.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Foundations for Success<\/h2>\n<p>This program is designed to help students develop the skills of <em>problem solving, self confidence, trust, communication, and leadership<\/em> through many different lessons and activities.\u00a0 Camp Tecumseh defines these foundations as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Problem Solving: Finding the best possible solution to any given problem.<\/li>\n<li>Self Confidence: Believing that if I really try, I can achieve the task I face.<\/li>\n<li>Trust: Gaining others\u2019 respect by acting towards them in a responsible way.<\/li>\n<li>Communication: Transferring ideas in an understandable way from one person to another.<\/li>\n<li>Leadership: Helping others to be successful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We also explored the Biblical aspect of each of these foundations, including placing our ultimate confidence in Christ.<\/p>\n<h2>In Their Own Words<\/h2>\n<p>The following are\u00a0very insightful\u00a0observations by Mr. Brownfield and several of the 6th graders about their experiences:<\/p>\n<p>1.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Camp is a great chance for the students to learn in an environment outside of the classroom! \u00a0It is great to see students using all different types of learning styles.<\/p>\n<p><em><a

a change from the norm.\u00a0 Our lessons are taught on the trails, we are outdoors almost all day, we sleep in bunks in the cabins, we eat family style in the mess hall, we get up early, we stay up late, and we are away from all of the technology of everyday life.\u00a0 We had so much fun!\u00a0 We rode down the silver bullet, took many turns on the black hole, tried the climbing wall, and even
