The Season of Gratitude
The holiday season is a special time of year filled with family, friendship, laughter, and fun. It is also a great opportunity to think about and share what we are truly grateful for this year. The act of sharing what we are grateful for can be very impactful on our children and an important practice for them to learn. Thanksgiving can be the perfect time for families to start a new holiday tradition focused on the importance of being grateful. Read more about the Season of Gratitude
Gratitude Activities for Families
Gratitude is an important life skill to practice with our children especially during challenging times. At Roughing It we practice this with our campers of all ages with a variety of activities. Campers practice reflecting on the things and people they are appreciate of and sharing them amongst their peers. With the holiday season upon us there can be more opportunities to get creative in helping children practice gratitude. See our Gratitude Activities for Families for a few of our favorite camp activities such as the Thanksgiving Tree or Penny’s GLAD Activity for Gratitude!
