185 Developmentally Appropriate Independence

AMDG.  This episode debuts in the dreary days of American wintertime, but our topic is far sunnier: summer camp.  Bonnie and Steven visit with Josh Wattenbarger and Alyssa Wollums of The Pines Catholic Camp about the highs, lows, benefits, and burdens of the camping experience both at The Pines itself and more generally.  The conversation ranges from fun and games to unhealthy socialization like cliques and bullying, family dynamics to handling homesickness, and overall, the developmentally appropriate independence that camp fosters.   Check out The Pines Catholic Camp here.  Relevant Kolbecast episodes:  105 Not Just for Special Occasions  92: Protect, Guide, Prepare, Empower  155 Mission Intent: Pathways to Serve  The Kolbecast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most podcast apps.
