Connection All Summer: Everyday Moves that Build Belonging

Belonging doesn’t happen by accident; it happens through intentional everyday actions. This interactive session explores how to weave belonging into the rhythm of camp life through adaptable, relationship-building practices. Participants will experience the Harmony Curriculum’s Everyday Practices (Meet Up and Buddy Up), Quick Connection Cards, and Summer Learning Program, all of which promote perspective-taking, communication, and problem-solving to help campers and staff feel connected.
