Restorative Circles and Awkward Tacos - with Emily Golinsky - The Day Camp Pod #55
Using circles (…and tacos?) to help our campers be their best this summer. Welcome, Emily Golinsky!
Most Day Camps fancy themselves masters in the art of Circle Time, but we doubt that most look at it as an act of restorative justice. To quote a golden Bob Ditter metaphor, camp is about making change, and Emily Golinsky is going to walk us through a framework that you are going to want to use with your team this summer, when we start seeing challenging behaviors.
She also has a phenomenal metaphorical take on our lovable, less typical kids involving Tacos that we can’t wait for you to hear.
