    Out of the grand tradition of mixer songs such as "Shake Another Hand," it comes. With verses encouraging running, playing, dancing, safe touch and general silliness, the song helps youth do what they want to do anyway-- get to know one another and stretch out with some healthy risks to do so. Perfect for opening night of camp.

Resilience, not happiness. Nothing wrong with being happy, but if that's the only goal for our kiddos, we will be forming grown-ups who understand seasons of unhappiness as failure and be unprepared for inevitable losses in a mature life of faith. Many outdoor ministry settings happen around woods, so this uses a tree's growth rings in the forest as a metaphor for how each person's stories is embedded in our daily life. Learn More
