Is there support available for campers who are having emotional issues?
Yes. The Compassion Cadre is a team of camper volunteers who support their fellow campers with bodywork, empathy & peer counseling, first aid & emergency medical attention, and mediation & facilitation. You will have an opportunity to join the Cadre at camp. In addition, campers are organized into small family groups that meet throughout camp. Family groups provide: 1) an extra support structure for campers, 2) a mixing of new folks and returning campers, 3) a place to reflect on intentions for camp and how camp is proceeding, and 4) a smaller community that will explore the dynamics of doing real work (i.e., camp chores, also known as Karma Yoga) together.
