Today was Empowerment at camp. This is the only time during camp that they address the reason for camp. The kids are each given a battery-operated candle. If and when they want to talk about the cancer in their family they turn on their candle and share their story. A counselor told me once that the whole feeling of camp changes after empowerment. The campers and counselors become closer, and a little bit of the weight that they all live with at home is released. This year the campers received a candle in the box that came in the mail. Miss Ten went in her room and closed the door for the Empowerment Zoom meeting. I went to my room and had a good long cry.
