HomeTown Stomping Ground Week 1 Update

HTSG ORIGIN STORY:

HOMETOWN STOMPING GROUND

The world is a wild place right now. The pandemic has shaken all of us, and we continue to balance feelings of uncertainty and worry.

Check out this past week’s schedule! Kate will put together different options every week just like camp!

At camp, we are focusing on bringing the fun, positivity, and energy. And luckily, our guy Jack is pretty good at the internet. This past week we launched HomeTown Stomping Ground, an online version of camp offering written materials, full access to our video archives, and virtual options with your favorite counselors. 

A few zoom calls a day dancing with Klee, a video of DaKwan eating Wendy’s, or singing the camp song at home on your ukulele. These are the little things we can offer. To remind us all to take a minute to breathe, laugh, and be present with the people we care about most. 

HIGHLIGHTS FROM WEEK 1:

We had an INCREDIBLE FIRST WEEK! From doing just dance with Klee, Dungeons and Dragons with Brian, and Homework Time with Mary, each session was a blast. Quick highlights!

  • Bereket brought the moves in Kenzie’s exercise class. 

  • Gianna taught our HW and Village time group the Umbrella game.

  • Our group watching the live tour of camp voted to throw Jack in the lake, but George said no...

What’s Coming Up?!

HTSG was such a hit for its first week, our team decided we want to level it up even further! Check it out:

  • Weeklong Options! We will have two weeklong activities for you to sign up for just like at camp. Brian will be doing DnD, and Alice will be doing Interior Design. Email Klee to sign up at klee@campstompingground.org

  • Teen Time! For any of this summer’s past BIG TIME participants, Tursh/Jackie are hosting a meet up, Wednesday 3/25 at 8:00pm!

  • Embers! We all need time to relax, breathe, and reflect. We are bringing our end of the day ritual to the online world. Everyday at 4:30pm! 

  • Tell Me Something Good! At 9:00am on Monday morning, we will pretend to stand on our virtual picnic tables and shout out some important, fun, or silly announcements to our community.

Week 2 - See you there!
