Directions

Instructions:

• Provide campers with pipe cleaners and construction paper.

• Ask them to answer the following questions, each with a character strength:

  • A strength your family gave you.

  • A strength your friends know you by.

  • A strength you are building for yourself.

• Write each strength on its own circle of construction paper.

• Use pipe cleaners to connect all three circles into a “character molecule.”

• Invite campers to share their molecules with the group.

Group Reflection Questions:

• How can you use your strengths to make our camp community kinder and stronger?

• Which strength are you most proud of, and why?

• How can you help others build their own strengths?
