Here’s how we began the development of this new summer tradition!
March 20, 2018
At the ACA Tri-State Conference in Atlantic City, New Jersey, 2 Camp Directors, 10 College Age Counselors and the KindnessEvolution team gathered for a facilitated half day session, exploring the current kindness landscape in our nation and envisioning the kind of world we desire for our youth.
Pilot CampKindness Day activities were developed in line with that vision.
