Today I’m reflecting on how I broke up a fight between two groups of campers. One of the groups was some kids from my cabin and the other was a camper and his older brother. I was somewhat acquainted with the camper and his brother and close with the kids from my cabin. Nonetheless, I had to sacrifice any bias and potential status with my kids in favor of resolving the fight and taking it to camp administration. I was able to recognize and consider the ethics of my choices and actions by sacrificing my relationships for the greater good.

I’ve been out on several climbing trips now as I’ve come into my role as a climbing CT and really gotten into my assignments teaching campers how to climb. Over the past few years I’ve acquired lots of different climbing skills and now I get to teach these kids that I’m charged with befriending and keeping safe. I have demonstrated that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process by learning how to be not only a climber, but a climbing teacher.
