Directions

Instructions:

• Set up the Gratitude Jar in a shared space, where campers can easily access it. You can let the group decorate it. Place slips of paper and a writing tool nearby so campers can add notes anytime. Start by having everyone write one slip to kick off the jar.
• Campers can write about something they’re grateful for, a memory, or something they appreciate about camp.
• Notes can be anonymous.

Group Reflection:

• At the end of the session, empty the jar and reflect together.
• You may want to look over the contents in advance to screen for anything you may not want the group to see. Each camper can pull a slip and read it to the group, and you may let them claim slips to elaborate or share additional thoughts.
