🌿 What burehyu Camp Values

• Putting children’s “I want to try!” at the center: Challenges and moments to pause are both accepted as experiences each child needs
• Support that stays close to each child’s condition: Leaders don’t immediately give answers. They wait for children to think and take action on their own. And when they succeed, they celebrate together!
• Real experiences that only nature can create: Using all five senses to “feel and notice” stays with children
• Reassuring support, even for first-timers: Experienced leaders pay close attention to each child

Lots of kids come back for the next camp saying, “I want to see my leader again.” By the time they go home, they might even have a “favorite leader”…!?
