Reasons to Volunteer at Special Session: Hugs and Warmth

This blog post was written by Jacob, a Special Session Counselor.

When it comes to Special Session, no one is a stranger to a good hearty hug. Young or old, camper or staff, everyone will get their fair share of hugs throughout the session. But the best part about getting to staff is you remember those extra meaningful hugs. My camper Elbert (pictured) and I shared one hug that changed my whole outlook on Special Session. After the talent show, I was feeling incredibly drained and over Special Session. But it was in that moment that Elbert came and gave me a huge, loving hug that changed my heart. That moment will stick with me forever and speaks to me about the power of Special Session.
