This week in Camp Odyssey’s Mindfulness Class, campers explored our Web of Connection activity, discovering how we are all connected to one another, to nature, and to the world around us. 🌎🕸️ Through reflection and teamwork, they learned that every action can strengthen the web that connects us all.

A special thank you to the The Gheens Foundation for helping make experiences like this possible through their generous support of Camp Odyssey. 💚 Their investment helps children build mindfulness, compassion, and a deeper connection to the natural world.

🧘‍♀️ Friendly Reminder! 🧘‍♂️

The next Meditation Monday at KMAC is coming up on Monday, June 15, from 12:30–1:30 PM at KMAC Contemporary Art Museum.

Take a midday pause to relax, recharge, and reconnect through guided meditation in a welcoming community setting. All experience levels are welcome!

We hope you'll join us. 🌿

Shout out to Eagle Scout candidate Zach Reed, who teamed up with fellow scouts last weekend to make improvements along our Cosmic Journey Trail! 🌿🪨 Their hard work included building a beautiful stone “bridge” to help hikers avoid muddy spots on rainy days. Thank you, Zach and crew, for helping make the trail safer and more enjoyable for everyone!
