Adventures of week 4. This past week seemed to go by the fastest; we visited the splash pad on Monday, ice cream truck Tuesday, movies on Wednesday, and Deleon Springs on Friday. In between the trips we introduced several new activities such as sharks and minos, pac man, and capture the flag. All the kids were fully engaged with the new games making for a fun experience both for the kids and counselors. This may explain why this week went by fastest thus far. This was accomplished with an increased amount of planning and scheduling. Next week should play out in a similar fashion as we have increased our counselor meetings from 1 to 2 a week. This simple act has made a world of a difference.
Through percussive planning and goal setting an organization can accomplish great things; I have seen this concept first hand through my summer of service with DTA. At first we struggled coming up with activities to keep the kids engaged, but after sitting down and ironing out a plan, it was nothing but smooth sailing. I hope to continue this mind set through my entire Bonner career, using it to reinforce my service and expand Bonner as a whole.
